A single strand joins the dots on sides forming a chain structure leaving 4 dots on side. I have just added two loops on the left out dots, you can draw a flower design or any freehand elements in the chain deck.
Below is the kolam without colours. This is the finished version with extensions around.
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 11-Dot dots in straight, even spacing using white rice powder or chalk.
Start from the Center
Find the middle dot. Draw the center loop, star knot, or flower petal first. Starting in the center keeps the pattern perfectly balanced on all sides.
Loop Around the Outer Dots
Pinch the rice flour between your thumb and forefinger. Guide the line smoothly around the dots in one continuous motion without lifting your fingers.
Add Red Border or Lamps
Outline the edges with traditional red Kaavi powder, or place glowing terracotta agal vilakku (oil lamps) at the corners to make your Kolam radiant!
