How to draw an 11 to 11 dots kolam

  1. Get ready

    Place the dots in a square of 11 rows of 11 dots. Print the dot sheet to practise on paper first, or copy the rows straight onto the floor.

  2. Draw the design

    Loop a sikku line around the dots, or join them with straight lines for a pulli kolam. Draw one row at a time and follow the step pictures of the design.

  3. Finish and enjoy

    Check that every dot sits inside a loop or on a line, then add colour if you like. Once 11 dots feel easy, try the next grid up.

  • A 11 to 11 grid has 121 dots. Count each row as you place it, so the design stays straight.
  • Practise on the printed dot sheet first. The hand learns the turns on paper, then the floor is easy.
