Interlocking circle tracing sheet / LETTER

A good fit for your idea?

Letter and A4 preserve the component dimensions. Choose the sheet you will print, not a different object size.

Materials and construction

Ordinary paper and a pencil. No cutting or adhesive is required.

Before making a batch

Check circle size and centre spacing.

Inspect all gap endpoints after printing.

Confirm the intended over-and-under pattern can be followed.

Circle radius: 22 mm.

Centre-to-centre spacing: 34 mm.

Four rows by four columns; gaps mark hidden crossings.

From file to finished page

  1. Treat the sheet as a tracing reference rather than a cutting pattern.
  2. Choose one circle and follow its visible arc segments around the ring.
  3. At a gap, find the crossing circle that passes visually over it. Do not fill in hidden segments automatically.
  4. Trace adjacent circles one at a time, preserving their different crossing order.
  5. Add colour on a separate sheet and check that the ring paths remain distinguishable.
Printing and use notes

Two-dimensional line study, not a linked physical ring assembly or registered cutting file.
