6-7 dots rangoli step by step images

A unique and tricky kolam - step by step tutorial 
This is also called biscuit kolam . 

At first sight this design may appear to be easy but it is likely that we may get stuck some where so it is preferable to practice it a few times if possible on paper with pen or pencil and then try it on the floor with kola podi

The dot pattern is 7 dots 6 rows and 6 dots 7 rows. First place the 7 dots rows and then in the gaps place the 6 dots rows
