Step by step: how to draw Simple Rose Flower Muggulu

1. Mark the 11-to-6 dot grid — the widest row of eleven dots tapering to six at the ends.
2. In the upper left and upper right draw a large open rose — a wavy outline of rounded petals around a spiral centre — with a pointed leaf tucked beneath each.
3. Below the middle draw a third rose with a spiral centre, topped by two broad pointed leaves spreading left and right from a short stem.
4. In the middle, between the three roses, draw two pointed leaves, one pointing left and one pointing right.
5. On the far left and far right edges draw a small cup-shaped rosebud with a spiral heart, tilted outward between pointed leaves.
6. At the top centre, between the two upper roses, add a small spiral bud with a pointed leaf.
