ORIGINAL PATTERN TUTORIAL

Swaynest Dots

Combine evenly spaced dots with alternating arches to build a nested repeating pattern.

FOLLOW THE SEQUENCE

Build the pattern one line at a time.

Draw a row of evenly spaced dots, connect them with alternating large arches, and add smaller arches beneath. Place a dot inside each lower arch, then offset the next row so the units nest together.
