Celtic know overlap

Recommended Posts

My head hurts from trying to figure out how to get this to work.

I'm trying to recreate a simple 3 loop celtic knot. In the attached sketch, the overlaps aren't correct all the way around. I'm looking for a spiraling overlap. I can get as far as a set of three circles overlapped and "welded" to create the basic knot. What I can;t get to work is the proper layering for the overlaps.

You are close - make the sweep of the arc from the lower right corner to the upper left intersection solid - erase the lines crossing it.  Connect the lower left corner pieces and also extend that arc to touch the intersection at the upper left and weld it.
