This dot kolam uses a 6×6 grid and diagonal lines that loop around the edge dots, forming a diamond lattice. It is 1.5 ft wide and takes about 15 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Put 36 dots in a square: 6 rows of 6.
Step 2
Draw diagonal lines between the dots from top-left to bottom-right.
Step 3
Draw diagonal lines the other way, crossing the first ones to make diamonds around each dot.
Step 4
Where the lines reach the edge, turn them into loops around the outer dots.
Tips
- Draw all lines in one direction first, then the other direction.
