Description
This is a simple Celtic Knot tutorial for Illustrator. This is designed as a complete beginners guide to Illustrator. It is not version specific, although it should be noted that this was created in Illustrator CS.All the techniques described here can be used on more complicated celtic knots.
The finished image could, or rather should
, be taken into Photoshop for the addition of textures and shadowing etc.Hope this is useful.

Excellent tutorial very quick and easy, although i'm having a bit of difficulty with the last step, how do you get rid of those annoying lines where you cut the paths?
Much appreciated

Shit man, this was great! Had some trouble with step 10 but I guess it was my computer screwing with me.
Thanks!

Uhm, i think im the only one struggling with this. Im new to the program. How might i make it so the circles overlap one another? It wont let me do it as each of the circles are underneath eachother or over the top of one another. 'arranging' them doesnt change anything either..

Really great tutorial, thank you! I've been looking for something like this!
I wanted to note that I don't use Illustrator, I use PSP 7, but this is still completely do-able in any graphics program I can think of!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

OMG! This is great.
I recently started to learn illustrator and was trying to figure out how to use it to draw knots. But was strugling. 
I knew I was missing something simple. 
The scissor tool... DUH.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

A interesting tutorial, I've always enjoyed using features of this similarity in Adobe Photoshop and sometimes in Adobe Illustrator often more so then not I have no purpose for it so thanks for the idea.
Great simple tutorial too, I sure hope it helps a lot of people out!
