This easy kolam uses a 7×4 interlaced grid, where each row is shifted half a step. The loops form a flower with six petals. It is 1.5 ft wide and takes about 15 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Put 7 dots in the middle row, then 6, 5 and 4 in the rows above and below.
Step 2
Draw a loop around the centre dot.
Step 3
Draw six petals around it, each looping around one of the six dots next to the centre.
Step 4
Loop around the outer dots to finish, and add orange in the petals and green dots between them.
Tips
- Start every kolam from the centre and work outwards.
