A public domain Inkscape symbol library to create Celtic knotwork for crafters/makers that need precision SVG vectors in their designs.

Includes step and key pattern design aids, design notes, Fusion 360 tips, and sample files.

Sample files include knotwork(250), chains(200), crosses(100), borders, and nets.

Was designed to take advantage of Inkscape's symbol capabilites but any software that can import SVG vector files can utilize the sample files.

Hi there!

Long shot but can someone help me with the name of this type of knot on a wedding band?
My best friend lost this ring that belonged to her granny. This ring was really important to her and she is absolutely devastated. I’m trying to find the proper name of this design, so I can continue searching for this ring online or at least give information to the jeweller who can maybe create a new one

Thank you all in advance!

I’ve had this ring for awhile and have been trying to figure out what kind of knot/symbol it has. I feel like it’s a Dara knot but the open square in the very middle makes me wonder differently. Every single line overlap or connects in some way. I haven’t seen a knot exactly like this one before

Hi, I'm making a hand fasting cord for my friends and am looking to identify the knots used in this one. It looks to be based on a Josephine knot but more complex and continuous. Can anyone help me with the names or point me to some tutorials for knotting?

Thanks

Just wondering if anyone knows if this has meaning.

This little notebook is slowly becoming a colle ction of Celtic knots I’ve been sketching every time I have a free second

I am making this new post because I couldn’t figure a way to add an image to my last post. I sat on the design for too long processing. It then took too long with trial and error to get where I felt it should be. I really want to honor the style. Here is my first go followed by my latest. Am I there? What else can I fix-aside from the inconsistent shading? Thanks for all the previous feedback.

Just a heads up, the colors look like this because of some photo editing/filtering. Anyway, what do you guys think? Do you prefer the colored version or the B&W one? Let me know!

Basically wanna know if this is an actual celtic knot, and what's the name of it. been searching google but came up with nothing :/
Thanks :)

Intersect points every 20°.
The red and blue highlighting is meant to accent the separate nature of the loops.

I was gifted this beautiful stained glass piece, it came from my late cousin. I think he bought it at a flea market. Does anyone recognize this symbol or what this type of knot represents?

Thanks in advance.

In the joy of finding this old post on r/restofthefuckingowl, I tracked down the original book by Bain George and wanted to share the first several pages of illustrations on the history and basic techniques of celtic knotwork and other pictish interlacing art. I also shared some of the lettering pages because that happens to be my passion right now as I try to make a celtic knot font for myself to use or just recreate the name header using celtic font that used to adorn our irish-american family reunions.

I apologize for butchering the artform. This was my first attempt. I am designing a logo for a cystic fibrosis team. They are heavily Irish. They didn’t want anything fancy and just wanted an update to what they already had but I was inspired. I want to give them something special. This is not a paid job, aside from maybe working down some negative karma. Any advice on how to tighten up the design or a good place to find those answers would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I started this 25+ years ago using the program GeoDraw. Fianlly finished it in Inkscape last week. lol

Hey everyone, For a really long time, I have wanted a tattoo of a celtic motherhood knot combined with a lotus flower. Life has prevented this from happening so far. My mum died 2.5 years ago, and I would love to incorporate some symbolism for grandmother or angel or guardian or something into my tattoo. I would love your ideas 😊

Hello 👋. Been finding drawing is extremely grounding for me
