The tangle pattern Pegs comes from Arja de Lange-Huisman of The Netherlands and Arja shares a whole bunch of variations to play with.
“I am a teacher in the subject ‘techniek’ or technology in English. I am a mother of 3 kids (10, 7 and 3 yrs old), I am married to Johan and living in Gouda in the Netherlands. I teach youngsters with an age of 13 and 14 yrs old. I am quite creative, always making things from cardboard from the time when I was young. …
When surfing on the internet I noticed Zentangle at the end of februari 2011. I contacted Maria Vennekens CZT for a workday. Unfortunately or fortunetly my middlelest kid (son) was invited to swim for his diploma A and I couldn’t go to Maria. So I bought the big Zentangle kit instead. I now enjoy tangling on the tiles with the micropen. I love making minitures on a ‘big’ tile with a flowing movement on it.”
Here are Arja’s steps for drawing the basic Pegs tangle.
Here is the first set of variations – Flames, Fluid, and Ray.
Here is the second set of variations.

Nice one! Such a lot of possible variations. I don’t like beginning with a pencil grid, not really Zentangle, but a field of offset dots should work. I’ll have to try that. Thanks!

Hi there, Very nice pattern, will try it out soon, but is it named for me? Just joking. Look forward to the next tangle. Peggie
Geweldige nieuwe tangle met veel mogelijkheden’
Fantastic new tangle with many possibulities.
Bijzonder creatief !!!
Thanx for all these comments. For the pegs&stars-variation you need a lot of concentration. It’s a real challenge to do that without using the cover-up the pegs-double version
