Step by step: how to draw Simple Rangoli With 6 to 6 Dots for Beginners

1. Mark the 6-to-6 square dot grid and treat it as four 3-by-3 blocks.
2. In each block draw a large X from corner dot to corner dot, so four crosses sit in a 2-by-2 square.
3. On every cross draw four rounded loop petals between its arms — pointing up, down, left and right — to make a four-petal flower.
4. Join the tips of neighbouring crosses with short straight lines along the top, bottom and both sides so the arms frame an octagon, and in the middle draw a circle with a spiral inside ringed by small round petals.
5. In the four gaps between the flowers draw three stacked lines shrinking towards the centre, with three dots in a triangle on the side nearest the centre.
6. Outside the top, bottom and both sides add a spiral curl that ends in a pointed leaf tip.
7. At each outer corner turn the free arm of the cross into a pointed leaf and flank it with two spiral curls.
