The inspiration for this knot came from several KOLAM designs I've seen on the web.
I have use it as a center in some of my latest mandalas.
For this tutorial I've used
Step 1
Start drawing a cross.
 |
Step 2
Add perpendicular lines to each arm of the cross.  | |
Step 3.
Draw three lines on each space following the direction os the external line. Its easier to add one in the middle and then one on each side
 | Fill the four spaces. It should look like this.  | |
Step 4.
Start drawing the curved lines' start with the one closest to the middle.
 | Continue drawing the four curved lines, one for each straight line. The last one should start at the external line you drew in step 2.  | |
Continue drawing the curved lines on each side of the square, following the same order.  |  | |
 | Here's you finished simple knot. |
