- How to draw a Celtic Knot using a series of dots as a guideline. Thanks to my calligraphic teacher Mark Van Stone who taught me this in the 70s.
Here is the link to Mark Van Stone's YT channel. Please check out his videos!

This is neat! I will have a go at this!
bruh almost 2 mil subs and no likes or replys

Thanks! but for me it was kinda confusing
It's really KNOT that hard!
+Yarely Galeno heh heh! I love this comment! Thanks for watching! - roc
Yarely Galeno 😂
Thank you I love that! It's amazing!
3:36 "And voilà !"
Aha, I'm french and I love to hear english speaking people say that.
Good video anyway !
To some one like me who can't draw a straight line with a pencil , without a ruler . Your confidence with a felt tip pen is remarkable !
thank you for being considerate of my time while still clearly explaining this cool pattern. liked and sub'd.
tokesateer I am happy you enjoyed it! -roc

I would never in a billion years be able to draw this!! This is absolutly amazing! At first it looked too confusing but I started to get the pattern of it and it's shape. Even if I can't get anywhere near as good as this, thanks for sharing!
its actually surprisingly easy theres another way to do it if u have a pencil and eraser well thats how'd i learnt it discovered it by accident. in school we were to make a maze the teacher couldn't solve in 1 minute made it 3D. just have it over lap and then erased the extra lines. this gave me an idea maybe i should put an infinite loop somehow and try to disguise it somewhere to look finite.
That is just so cool. I would love to see some other knots you have made. Give me some time, and I'm definitely going to try this.
Amazing tutorial .... i'm from indonesia and i like it.... good job
Thank you so much! I never really thought of drawing a celtic knot but I think I'll work on this, again thanks!
i want to make this celtic knot on a wood to make a table clock can it be possible
and nice video
Kunal Banerjee Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! A celtic knot table would be amazing! Would you be carving, inlaying, or burning? No matter what, yes, you could do it. Good luck! It's going to be great! - roc
carving for a wall clock start from small thing to big
That was brilliant, learned something new today; I can dig it!
Great VIDEO- 5 STARS*****
This comment is fricking old
Thank you... :)
+GERALD FROMTHEBUSH You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed. - roc
very good idea with the dots... it's amazing how something as simple as a gridof dots makes such a great visual guide... I love to free hand draw, but could never draw this kind of stuff.
"Over, under. Over, under." I laughed. :) By the way, it helped a lot. I drawed it to our blackboard in school, they amazed. They said that I'm a professional because I can doodle (I don't know if doodle word is a verb) and draw anime, kawaii (cute in Japan) things. Or... CRAZY THINGS! xD
Thanks so much for your comment! "Doodle" is very acceptable and I hope you enjoy drawing this knot! I'm glad you astonished your classmates. - roc
Thank you for the lesson :) It's great to know how these patterns are made, and be able to make something similar on my own.
I'm glad you enjoyed this, Tobiasz. - roc

I bet this isn't the first time you've done this. Nice work and good explanation. Thanks.
cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott
This is AMAZING!! :) Thanks so much for making this video. It was very clear and concise. :) I made such pretty celtic knots because of you.
moyimus I'm glad you liked it! - roc
I honestly have so much respect for people like you, put your time and effort into an instructional video without any intention of gaining anything from it. Also, you get into every detail of explaining how to draw the knot, instead of just glancing over minor details like other videos do. Seriously, just people like you make me glad to be human.
I decided to use my computer to make one. I set it as my profile picture and the full size is here: i.imgur.com/QOvpwjj.png
Bravo! It is beautiful! And it works so well as your profile picture! I hope you are proud of yourself! It is very good, Matt! I am off to see the full image. Thanks for sharing! - roc
It really looks terrific! I'm very happy you showed me!
***** Thanks :) And thanks for the wonderful how-to!
***** That's some sweet rope action you've got going.
very nice!
I have been wanting to learn how to do this for a long time and I'm a really good drawer I've entered a lot of drawing contest and won 1st place in all of them but now I know how to do this thank u so much for the help
still very difficult to draw...
Hello! Thank you for cheering your knowledge it realy helpt me. It is The first time i'm tryin and it turned out great. Thanks to you, fantastic 😁
Åse Hagborg Aleberg You are very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it and are drawing knots! - roc
Brilliant i am a carpenter semi retired and i make little thinks in my work shop i have copied this and carved it out of wood now everyone want one Thank you
+TheDublin47 You're very welcome! I can imagine how wonderful your carved wooden knot is! - roc
tình hình là xem xong thì hoa mắt và chóng mặt và không tài nào vẽ theo được, oh my god =.="
Tam Do Thi Minh Thanks!! - roc

Just did it! Looks awesome,merci!
Bu arada hiç türk yokmu benim dışımda.
it looks hard to do , but i'll give it a try, thanks for sharing this :DD
This is awesome. It took me awhile to learn it but I think it has finely sunk in, a suggestion to your followers is to make the dots and walls with ink, and then use pencil for your lines, I had to do a lot of erasing before finely getting it down, Thank you so much for your instructions.
Oh wow!
how clever!
I will have a go!
Thanks Roc :-)
xxx hugs xxx
Oh how interesting Roc. When I saw the icon I assumed you were just tracing it but wow you actually created the celtic knots! Thanks for the lesson. I'll have to give it a try. -Jim

How do i copy this pattern with wire please?
Oh, gosh... I don't know. Sorry. -roc
I love this......I like to paint on smal wood boxes, so I'm always looking for new ideas, and I think this would look really pretty on one of them. Thank you for posting.
Well no, they are different ethnic groups, Celts used to control quite a lot of Europe but the remaining Celtic nations are now just Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Mann, Cornwall and Brittany.
Vikings were Germanic Scandinavians from Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
The Vikings did hold Dublin, some of northern Scotland and the isles for a time and the Celtic and Viking cultures mixed there.
Hi popparoc46,
I love this design and other similar especially in leather. I know it sounds stupid, and probably is, but with any design like this, I can get half way through, or even near the end and I will put a line going the wrong way so I have to start again! Short term memory loss is the reason, I simply forget what I am doing.
Take care, you make it look so easy.

At first, it was a difficult concept to grasp, but eventually it all came together. I have become slightly obsessed with these, and my trig professor caught me drawing these little wonders. I have been trying to determine how to figure the number of strands in a design based on the number of "grids" that are laid out prior to the filling in of the lines. Do you have any secrets to predetermine the strand count before drawing. I have found out that all square patterns have the same number of str
i've been trying to work on a celtic knot wolf paw print tattoo design for my fiance for a while & it's proving to be a pain. partially because i can't get one side of a part to look like the other. ocd sucks sometimes XD
PlanetRobogoretex sent me to you. I've seen your comments around but never got a chance to watch until tonight. I LOVE this knot! I'm going to try this tomorrow! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
hahaha! I will show you mine if you show me yours. I am a bulk buyer of things. I know it's a sickness. If I am at an Office Depot, you will always find me in the pen aisle...
You are most welcome:) I love drawing and I often find myself turning to making knots and the like:) Mostly freehand stuff, but it is cool to see a system for making them:)
thank you master popparoc !
( i mean like this knot must require some kung fu skills, right ? )
Your voice is so relaxing and soporific.
Thanks! - roc
It looks beautiful and all, but why do people want to draw this?
Thanks. I'm not sure how to answer your question, though. It is just a pretty cool thing to be able to draw! - roc
***** maybe middle eastern rugs , patterns for fabric
or military ribbons .
Yes, exactly, Amir! It would look wonderful in a rug. I've always enjoyed drawing a knot like this! Thanks for watching.
hi, lovely knot, now I'll know how to do something interesting to show people, thanks!
Cool
Very nice, just like the pattern on the Pictish (ancient Scottish) stone not too far from my house, from the 7th century!
Wow thanks for solving the mystery! I'll try it when I get the chance.
continued- from there you could mark the intersection in the middle of every square, it's slightly confusing without this, and I'm sure you could figure it out from there. You should also keep in mind that the strips will be a little distorted, wider on the outside than on the inside.
The grid and the circle, by the way, could be drawn with pencil, so they will be erasable.
I hope with helps you.
I did in fact figure out the round one, (My mom asked me to recreate this on a plate she made). To make a round band shape (couldn't figure out the center), you mark the middle of your circle, and draw 4-5 (or how many row you want +1) concentric circles, and then using a protractor, (or a angle-a-tron, if you ever watched Vihart),mark dots evenly spread apart on the circle. Then to connect every dot to the center of the circle, an viola! you have the grid.
Since I fist watched this months ago, I can;t seem to stop drawing these. I have maths, physics and chemistry lessons (21 a week in total- I'm masochistic, obviously), and an always using graphing paper.
Did you ever try using and extra half cm (one cube) to one of the sides. This gives you a strip that has ends. I love just following one strip as I draw them (start on an edge, and then leave blank spaces when it's "under").
I might need to find a new hobby... lol
Basically, the thing you did where you eliminated the dots by making a bold outline is something that a lot of comic artists do to separate objects from one another. All details within an object have a smaller outline. So you might not have noticed it but you actually made the entire knot into a whole by strengthening the outline. Just thought I'd mention it, it makes for one really handsome knot.
@theprototype424 It doesn't have to be lined or grid paper. I did it on a blank paper, just estimate the distance, it's not perfect but it can be quite neat still.
By the way, thanks for the video, I wanted to do this stuff a long time, I just thought it is going to be too complicated that I never even started, I followed you in the video, and the dots really made it a lot simpler. Thanks.
I just made my first knot today following the video, I took it slow, and did it first in light pencil, (which might be cheating) then filled it in with India Ink, and I love the way it turned out. I don't really understand what the "center dots" were for on this knot, but I'm just learning....I'm sure they will make more sense when I start doing more intricate knots.
Now that I read through what I just wrote, I realized it wasn't very clear, sadly. the concentric circle should be evenly spaced (say 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 and so on)... and also the angle between the dots, or well, the radiuses, if you used a protractor instead of eyeballing it, should be rather small for this to look nice.
I'm always amazed at folks like breann who'd rather direct her negative comments outward rather than where they belong. This is one of the more useful tutorials on this knot I've seen. Your presentation couldn't have been clearer, though maybe a bit slower-- but then as you intimated, you'd be boring your audience. Bravo.
Very nice, thank you. I am planning to carve a celtic knot door and was wondering if this can also be applied to a longer strand? I assume you just make all the dots and so it would become something like 4 x 15 or so. Then just turn them in when they hit the walls. So does it have to be 4x6 or can it be modified? Thanks
OMG... This seems so tough, but very interesting... hmm.... :-) guess I'll just have to keep watching it repeatedly. :-P I think you should have slowed down a teeny li'l bit through the knotting... but oh well, maybe I'm too slow to take it in. :-P Thank you so much for sharing it though. :-)

Nope, nothing wrong- you should keep playing around with the ratio of length to width- apparently if you do 6 dots across and 3 dots vertically (I counted the dots on the edges of the rectangle in this video :) ) 6 by 4 will give you 2 strands. Hope this helps
Hi im a 11 year old boy my mum showed me how to do this knot 2 years ago and that's when I noticed that I wanted to be an artist and then died just 3 weeks ago of blood lose a day before my art school had a art exhibition and I thought she would've been so proud but now she the angels in heaven :(
Thank you for getting back to me. I did attempt a larger scale knot last night and it worked out pretty well. However, I would like one with a bit more...something in the middle maybe...I will have to try it with a couple "walls" in the middle and see what happens. THanks again!
No problem! I mean when you're ten, the only way you can boost your self-esteem and authority is by swearing. You tube comments like that are made by trolls and immature teens. Well, in this case, really young kids who feel like they have the right to have a say things like that.
Wowzers! Ok like you got some talent! =D At first when you were drawing the dots I was like how the heck is she she goning to make a celtic knot ou tof that! then it was really cool when it all came together! Good Job and thanks for showing us how to do it! =)
I have no idea if he might! I Google searched him some time ago and sent an email but don't know that it reached him, and I never heard from him. I took Celtic Calligraphy from him at University of New Hampshire around 1980 or so.
Keep up the lovely knotting! Why Knot???
I saw this method on a BBC programme last night (and an ex-forger showing how to make Anglo-Saxon buckles) The Dark Ages: The Age of Light and that led me to your (extremely cool) video. From your accent I'm guessing Canadian - eh? :o) Greetings from the UK
I probably watched this video a million times...thanks for this explanation! It helped me quite well by getting through my lectures at university! And I like your voice, I could listen to it 24 hours a day...
Greetings from Germany :)
Don't be on it all that often and just happened onto your site by accident looking at the knots and now i'vebeen on it all weekend. You're now responsible for my lack of family interest! lol Bliain úr fa mhaise duit (Happy new year to you, Gaeilge)
Well, there are some mistakes, but small ones that we wouldn't hear if it was spoken. "face" just feels a bit awkward, "visage" would be more correct.
Heh, now it's my turn to wonder if what I've written is correct !
From Paranormal clips to this. I wasn't sure if I should watch this video when I first saw the title, but boy am I glad I did!
Very nice Guide and beautiful knots. Thanks for sharing this:-)
Im going to try it out right now.
Just saw this about 2 weeks ago, 1st one was ok, had to stop the video a few times.
Now, I'm hooked !! it is so relaxing to draw the knot.
I just got a idea that I'll share with you later after I get it completed.
cool beans! great thing bout the vids is being able to pause and rewind if you didn't get it. all the time in the world to wrap your mind around the simpler projects and gets you thinking immediately about more complex ideas
Hi Roc
Thank you for subscribing. I have included a few pics of my cups. Hope you like them. I'm just putting up a few pics of my first goes at your Celtic Knots. I hope to include a design on my next wooden project.
omg!!!! thanx!!!! this has inspired me alot!!!!! thanx sooo muxh i got this in my first go ;) did it with a sketch pencil i made both ends of the knots come off as a dragons head :D yay!!!!!!!! your the best thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want to try an draw some celtic knots..watching this a few times and practicing, i'll be able to do something like it soon! :) I like the way you EXPLAIN! like you say things like "see how..." or 'see like...."
This is very difficult. I'll have to sleep on it. I feel really, really stupid right now.
Having too many is the fun part. You have a variety, even if they are sometimes the same.
hi do you remeber me judith ..... we lost joe last week he was blind and had cancer 12 years we had hm ....... rember joe hides the bone........i am trying to do the knot ...... august 28 here
Wow I'm surprised I got both of them in one try!!!!!!!! Yay I'm so happy!........ But I did make a few mistakes on both of them, I'm gonna keep trying until I can do it without the video :)
Lovely! I'll have to use this in my cardmaking. Can you put barriers anywhere other than the middle? Have you tried it with more than one barrier? I suppose it would have to be quite a bit bigger for that
dis looks quite confusing haha sorry had ta say but its really really goood for someone creative like u and maybe u could like cover up da hole page in stead of a rectangle now that would look cool
Many thanks.
I have just started wood carving and kolrosing birchwood kuskas (little wooden Finnish cups). This video is an enormous help to me, so I'm off to prcatice now. Cheers

We are studying Celtic Knots and the Book of Kells and We just did this for our homeschool project- My 9 and 10 year old loved it- they did better than I did and they are excited to try more- Thanks

You make it look so easy. I'm not an artist, but I've got to try this.
Erin Go Braugh!
Popparoc46: What talent, I am going to practice, I know it will take me some time but I so want to QUILT in TRAPUNTO this Celtic Knot. Thank you for sharing, you are a diamond. ♥
This is sweet. :)
Just a question : If i want to make a bigger size of this, do i increase the number of dots.. say 10 x 8 or increase the distance between two consecutive dots ?
thanks this is very impressive it must take a lot of practice to make it that smooth. I made one quick just to try it out and it was very satisfying. thanks for making this video.
There was two of us, who draw that knot, my friend Leon & me, it takes almost 2 months from start to the end :)But i must confess we didn't work too hard... ;)
Thx for your comment :)
this confuses me.....could you do a tutorial of the same thing with the camera over your shoulder or something so we see the paper right side up instead of sideways?
you know what? I respected this drawing tutorial until i tried it. Geez that was easy.... not ... =( you do make it look simple though, ill keep watching till i get it
It hit's the wall, make a turn, hit's the wall make a turn...
It puts the lotion in the basket, it puts the lotion in the basket...
PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET!
That just blows my Mind it Actually Hurts my brain to try and understand how you figured that pattern out, just watching it is like doing hard math lol, but its really cool,
I stumbled across your video and it was a pleasure! Thanks for the clear explanation and great tutorial. I'm going to share with my daughter and we'll try it together.
I just made one(I paused it drew it hit play and paused it again :) ) it looks really good I put a green line in it because the celtics are playing now. GO CELTICS !!!!!!!!
i was making a celtic cross, and i wanted to make a celtic knot but i couldnt find anything until i watched your video and it looks amazing. THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting technique. I make them using a different (more flexible?) method, but it's fun to watch how other people do this stuff.
pauljs75 Thanks! - roc
