This is the first of a series of patterns based on Persian designs that I have found in a fabulous book by Ali Dowlatshahi ‘Persian Designs and Motifs for artists and craftsmen’, a Dover Publications sourcebook from 1979. Thank goodness for the college library 🙂

This one is similar to several other ‘eye’ type patterns out there, but I think the steps are unique. I’m sure someone will let me know if they are not!

Tomorrow, 2 of 14: ‘Persian Lattice’.
