Step by step: how to draw 7×1 Dots Small Muggulu

1. Mark the 7-to-1 dot grid — rows narrowing from seven dots in the middle to one at each end.
2. On the top, bottom, left and right draw four flowers, each of four heart-shaped petals around a small circle.
3. Mark two short dashes inside each heart petal and a dot in each flower centre.
4. In the centre draw four pointed petals on the diagonals to make a star-shaped flower, with a line inside each petal.
5. Wrap each side flower in a large curved outline that sweeps out from the centre petals.
6. In each of the four corners draw a small cluster of rounded petals with dots around a spiral curl.
