The basic motif for this 9x9 rangOli is the same as the earlier one. The only difference is in the way the nine have been connected to form the whole. Whereas the previous one was a single line pattern, this has three lines. Enjoy!

While I did a few patterns on a 10x10 grid, I found ten is an even number and the pattern does not have a central "point". I thought why not a 9x9 grid? I took a well known 3x3 pattern which everyone knows except that I did it with strings long ago ( http://www.ikolam.com/node/4869?p=1930 ). I repeated this nine times and connected them in such a way that only one line results. This looks a bit like svAstika. Others too can try 9x9 patterns. May be laTAji may open a folder for this too

Honest, this pattern was created using a 10x10 square grid. This has the dEvanAgari SrI as well as Om. The sun, moon, the trident with a little drum too are present in this. Hope you will enjoy. Regards! - mOhana
The other day I gave you a simple pattern which is a quickie for all busy people. I combined four of those to form a square pattern that has two lines. The original pattern is also given at the centre. Enjoy!

I have combined four knots of the type at the centre of this figure and also displayed earlier. This has two lines. Enjoy!

This design is as old as the civilisation, not joking. But I gave a weaving motion to the same so that the pattern is knotted and can be drawn on a dotted motif. Enjoy!

This is a very simple celtic knot. Normally this sort of knot will look circular. I made this knot octagonal in shape so that one can easily draw this with the aid of a 4 x 4 dot motif. In fact this may be considered as four octagons with one open side for each of the octagons. This may look quite nice for crochet work, a hint to those artists. Enjoy!

This rangOli has reference to my blog http://www.ikolam.com/node/19696 . In it I mentioned that if the number of dots in the row or column is even, then it is not possible to connect it to the border through the middle point. I was thinking about a solution to this problem. The answer is simple. In such a case, connect not the middle point as in the odd case, but two middle points in the even case to the borders. Then we get connections to the border from all sides and still we have only a single line. A real breakthrough Here is an example for a 6 x 5 sOnA pattern. The whole pattern including the borders have 10 x 9 dots. The sOnA pattern itself is indicated in red and the connections as well as the outer border are drawn in pink. Even if the colours are different, the whole pattern consists of just one line. Enjoy!
