On the top right, we have a 3 x 4 single line sOnA pattern. On the left is a modification of this pattern. The dots (row1-col3), (row1-col4), (row2-col3), (row2-col4), (row3-col3), (row3-col4) have been separated and a new pattern (still single line) has been obtained. These are rotated by 90 degrees and joined together. The orientation of the top left is the same as the one exactly below it. Now as in any sOna square, we get two lines. But this pattern is similar to many of the chikku kOlams our friends draw and upload on the site. People who are looking for novel patterns may try this with bigger dot patterns like 5 rows and 6 columns and in that case we will have a 11 dot square. Enjoy!

one of the very few kolams that I learnt as a beginner...always a favourite as it starts and ends in the same place and which used to be a challenge as a learner...hope you like it...
Merry christmas. 11 to 6. 5 to 1 on all six sides (inbetween dots). Stars, candles, cross, bells and misteltoe
This is a freehand maakolam which I tried today. Hope you all like it
This is a free hand kolam of usual design drawn in front of my house during last week (margazhi days)
Thanks to judy's Stencil kolam demo during the chennai meet.
One of the simple kolams which i make on tuesdays and fridays.
this kolam is free hand type kolam and very easy to draw
This dotted kolam design was copied from "Dinamalar".The famous Tamil daily newspaper Dinamalar has been publishing kolam as "margazhi kolam corner".This is one of the design of Dinamalar.
