Redknot

Celtic knotwork that weaves itself: interlace, rings and borders.

Coming soon

Tie a knot

An 8 × 6 panel. Tap a crossing to turn it into a wall that bends the strands back, tap again for the other wall, and again to put the crossing back. Watch the strand count change.

Every line weaves over and under by itself. You design the knot, not the drawing.

In the app the same panel goes up to 40 × 40, and Join Strands changes walls for you until the knot has as few strands as it can.

A small taste of the real thing: the demo uses the same weaving rules as the app, but none of its export or shape tools.

What it does

Redknot designs Celtic knotwork: interlace panels, rings, borders and monograms. Every line weaves over and under by itself, so you design the knot, not the drawing, and see at once how many separate strands it has.

Design the knot

Start from a grid. Each crossing is one click: keep it a crossing, or turn it into a wall that bends the strands back. Switch cells off to cut any shape out of the panel.
A live strand count. It shows how many strands the knot has, and Join Strands changes walls for you until it is as few as it can be, often one continuous line.
Panels, rings, borders, monograms. Make panels up to 40 × 40, round rings with 4 to 48 sectors, repeating borders, and monograms from your initials in a knotwork alphabet with accents, Greek and Cyrillic.
Symmetry. Mirror and turn symmetry repeat every change, and Surprise Me deals a new knot in the symmetry you chose. Twelve sample designs to start from.
Style the ribbon. Ribbon width, edge and gap, rounded or pointed corners, a split band, one colour or a colour per strand, from eight colours with their own names.

Make it

SVG. Filled ribbons, a laser outline, or a single centre line for plotters, CNC and embroidery.
Stencils. Bridges hold every island, with a bridge width you choose, ready for vinyl or laser cutting.
True-size PDF. Tiled across A4 or Letter sheets with registration crosses, mirrored for transfer.
PNG. At 3000 pixels.
Hand-drawing guide. Step by step from the dot grid to the finished ribbons, for carvers, calligraphers and tattoo artists who draw by hand.
