Step by step: how to draw 7×7 Dots Simple Muggulu
- Mark the 7-to-7 dot grid — seven rows of seven dots.
- In the centre draw a four-petal flower with a dotted line in each petal.
- Around the flower draw a square chain of interlinked eye-shaped loops through the surrounding dots.
- On each of the four corners draw a sprig of three pointed petals fanning outwards, with a dotted line inside the petal that points into the corner.
- Between each corner sprig and the centre draw a large teardrop with a spiral inside, and curl a small spiral off each side of the sprig.
- In the middle of each side draw a rounded arch holding a small fan of three dotted lines.
