If I look at Panthe for too long it makes my eyes feel funny, but that’s partly why I like it! As you can see in the tutorial it’s based on the Pantheon Dome in Rome, which inspired me to try a circular tangle area for the first time.
Step 1. Draw a grid using double lines.
Step 2. Add crosses in the larger squares.
Step 3. Draw a small square around the centre of each cross
Step 4. Draw a larger square around the small one
Step 5 (optional). Fill in the sections where the grid lines overlap
Step 6 (optional). Add some shading.
I decided to have a play with this Tangle, see what else could be done with it. I tried starting off with a single-line grid rather than double.
Then a triple-line grid.
Adding in some extra squares.
And filling in certain sections.
It’s so interesting to me how little changes like that can really alter the look of a Tangle.
So what do you think of Panthe? Which is your favourite version? Let me know in the comments!
I like W2 because it reminds me of a Mothers Day present I made years and years ago. The one where you cut out two shapes, cut strips into them, and then weave them together to form a heart.

Mum still has the heart I made to this day.
At first I struggled with the set up of W2; I couldn’t wrap my head around the layout of the diamonds. But once I realised it was just a straight grid of squares on the diagonal I was sorted. I can turn my paper 45 degrees and draw the grid, then turn it back straight to add in the lines and finish it off.
Step 2. Add in all lines in one direction, alternating inside and outside the little squares.
Step 3. Add in all lines in the other direction, again alternating inside and outside the squares.
Step 4 (optional). Decide where the ‘light’ is and add in some shading accordingly.
Fun fact: unless I actively think about it, my ‘light’ is always to the top left so I shade the bottom right of my Tangles. I don’t know why, it just feels right.
