Here’s another simple, fun tangle pattern for you. Dooleedo is from Ksenija Vojisavljevic and as she has done with some of her other tangles, Ksenija’s steps includes ways to vary the pattern for a little different look.
Dooleedo is especially for those of you who love continuous line tangles. And while Dooleedo is quite simple, just like Paradox I think you’ll find it will challenge your concentration. There are oodles of creative options for embellishing Dooleedo too.
My Dooleedo example combines Ksenija’s first variation shown below (curving lines in), and the addition of extra lines shown in her second variation (curving lines out).
I wonder if this tangle will begin showing up in the margins of meeting notes and on telephone message pads. I can see free motion quilters playing with this one too.
Here are Ksenija’s steps for having fun with Dooleedo.

this looks incredible! trying it this afternoon
Wonderful! It looks very Dr. Seuss-like.
I was looking for something to use in the outer “petals” of my current Zendala. This is perfect! Thanks.
I love it, it’s wonderful. I will probably try it tonight while vegging in front of the tv.
Love this one…….actually it looks a bit reminiscent of some Medieval decorating designs! I shall enjoy winding and EN-tangling this one amongst my next few tangles!
Also something a little unrelated…..I need to tangle often and have been using the ‘formula’ of the black, white and grey shading, achieving a lovely ‘inward’ meditative state and come away quite relaxed and ready to face the world again. However, recently I tried adding just tiny bits of colour with my gel pens, usually just random spots of one colour per tile, and what happened ? Poof, my meditative state disappeared…….I think because I found myself thinking too much about where my “random” spots of colour should go ! It was quite amazing to me how different I felt. So now my daily meditation tangles, remain black, white and grey and I keep my ‘touches of colour’ for when I don’t “need” to tangle ! The experience really was amazing!
Very pretty! I like the long, tall, curving variation, especially.
Love the simplicity of these zentangles!!!
I love this pattern , I’m so very new at doing this but I will be adding it to my patterns ,
Have to say….. this is one of my FAVORITES of all time! Love it!
this I am going to love- some patterns are just too complicated!!
Beautiful–with the shading, it becomes so dynamically dimensional. I LOVE this one. Thank you so much!
A friend made me aware about Gustav Klimt , his art work is so much like zen tangles , I love his art. Look it up on the Internet .
This is great, it really reminds of one of our highland native plants. So easy and so effective.
One of my favorite patterns is Betweed, and this reminds me of that style! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you everybody for lovely comments
Love this tangle. So much fun to make and so easy!
