About this generator

Thread, a board and a rule: go from each peg to the peg twice as far along. A heart appears inside a circle.

How to use

  1. Pick a figure and the number of pegs.
  2. Print the board.
  3. Tie the thread to peg 1 and wind it by a rule, for example always 13 pegs further.

Printing tips

  • Print flat, pegs up, without supports. The peg heads widen at 45°.
  • A dark board with bright thread gives the strongest effect.
  • Pegs break if they are too thin: use 2.8 mm or more, and 3 walls.
