Bugles is a pattern from Canadian tangler Joyce Evans and it’s her first on the site. Bugles is one of those “happy accidents” arising when a new tangle is created from a miscue with an old one.
Joyce writes that she was “trying to tangle Hugs and Kisses and ended up making up this pattern.” She named the new pattern Bugles because it reminded her of the corn chip snack food ‘Bugles’.
In my first couple of attempts at Bugles I made the mistake of not allowing enough space between the columns of shapes in step 1 and when step 3 came along: “oops” – no room. Here’s another little tip for you – to help me get the shapes in step 1 nicely formed, I colored them in as part of the first step – black jelly beans. Another yummy snack food.
Here are Joyce’s step-by-step instructions for drawing Bugles and a completed Zentangle featuring her tangle pattern.

This is so cool!! Haven’t tangled in a while…Will have to dig out the pens to try this one out! Thanks for sharing!
Very intersting! I can see many lovely variations comming!
Kind of reminds me of dragonflies….. very cute
I’m a beginner and look forward to try it, thank you very much
Oh my, love those yummy bugles. Do they still make them? This pattern makes nice use of a grid, triangles and parallel lines – excellent!
I don’t know if Bugles are still around but if they are I predict a slight uptick in sales
