Celtic Knot Mandala #24 - Free Coloring Page

Six identical lobes turn around a tiny central opening ringed by a compact Celtic knot that reads as a small rosette. Six heart-shaped shields, each hollowed with a thin cross, surround this center and alternate with slender pointed leaves. Beyond them, the interlacing bands open into loops and thorny tendrils repeated six times out to the edge, closed by two fine concentric circles, with no beads and no scalloping.

This printable mandala earns its difficulty from the fine linework: near the center the crossing bands leave only tiny cells, while the outer lobes offer somewhat larger fields. This mandala coloring page rewards a steady hand and patience, plan on two to three hours to cover it without rushing the knot crossings.

Sharpened colored pencils or a fine-tip marker glide through the central knotwork better than a broad-tip pen, since that is the most delicate part of the drawing. Start with the six central shields before moving into the outer lobes. For a printable mandala that keeps every thin line crisp, print at A3 on 200 gsm paper.
