Circular Celtic Pattern Layout Ideas
Circular Celtic patterns do not need to be one flowing line of Celtic motifs. As you work to create your own patterns consider these designing options.
This is a five part series that will be expanding over the next few days.
Part 1, How to create and divide your circle grid
Part 2, Sample Circular and Square Grids, ready to print and use in your pattern work
Part 3, How to convert a linear pattern into a circular design
Part 4, Four free circular Celtic Patterns
Part 5, Sample single Celtic pattern motifs to trace
Free Mourning Doves Celtic Pattern uses two Celtic pattern motifs – one is the dove and the second is the Celtic knot shown at the top of the circle. This pattern was worked inside of one quarter of the circle grid, then flipped both horizontally and vertically to create the four mirror sections of the tracing pattern.
Free Four Hearts Celtic Pattern features a large open space inside of each of the heart designs. Here you can add a new design as flowers or four-leaf clovers, initials, or even a small landscape pattern.
This free Five Sectioned Cross Celtic pattern uses an outer border to divide the circle into the five pie-shaped parts. Once the border has been worked you can use any small Celtic pattern motif as the filler design.
Free Celtic Stars and Clover Pattern places a motif along each radius line of an eight-section pie shaped circle. They are connected using just one line the follows the outer edge of the circle.
Celtic Thunder Storm pattern uses two motifs that are interconnected through the line work. The center points of each motif touch the outer edge of the original circular grid. To emphasize the circular idea behind this design two circular lines were added to the knotting pattern, threading through each motif line.
