It's
NOT a lettering font (although we include one for free) - it's a design
tool that creates patterns by typing.

NEW - Charted pattern fonts | |
|---|
Charted graphed versions for beadwork and cross stitch!
The following is the pattern created by just one key of the new Charted Celtic Knot Fonts:
 |
 |
Charted 12G Grid Style |
Charted 12B Brick Style |
We are very proud to introduce the latest versions of the Celtic Knot Font - Charted 12G and Charted 12B! These two fonts were created especially for Beadwork, Cross Stitch, Intarsia Knitting, Samplers, Tapestry, Blackwork, Canvas Embroidery, Hooked Rugs, or any charted craft or needlework.
12G creates a grid-style graphed pattern where the rows are in straight lines, 12B a brick-style pattern of diagonally offset lines.
These new fonts give you the ability to create custom Celtic charted patterns in just minutes! Here is an example that I created in under 2 minutes:
A pattern made just by typing with the 12G (Grid) Style Font
A pattern made just by typing with the 12B (Brick) Style Font
Each "letter" you type makes a different piece of a Celtic knot - put them together any way you like to make your own designs - just by typing! There are over 220 pieces in the font, so the number of different designs you can make is nearly unlimited.
Make custom patterns and print them out at exactly the size you need, quickly and easily.
Now you can create your own Celtic craft designs in any size or shape that you want!
This beadwork project was made by Laurie Isdell on a bead loom, using a pattern made with the Charted 12G Font.
Our customer Maria Lee created this spectacular bracelet with black, silver, and gold-plated delica beads.
We highly recommend that you also get the Charted Pattern Pack to go with your Font.
It contains over 250 ready-made designs!
The Pattern Packs are accessories that work with the Celtic Knot Fonts. They contain fully editable royalty-free designs that you can use as-is or modify as desired with the Font. Vector based, they scale perfectly to any size.
We have created a brand new Pattern Pack just for use with these two new fonts. The Charted Pattern Pack was specially created with a selection of knots appropriate for beadwork, cross stitch, needlepoint, and other crafts requiring charted patterns. The package includes an assortment of Celtic knotwork designs - borders, medallions, crosses, hearts, and a variety of other decorative elements. The new pack includes selections from our popular Pattern Packs 1 and 2, along with many brand new knotwork patterns from the as-yet-unreleased Pattern Pack 3. All of these patterns were selected to be particularly appropriate for use with our new charted fonts. This new pack contains an astounding 262 charted Celtic patterns, ready to use as they are, or modify them to suit your needs.

What is the Celtic Knot Font?
I studied hundreds of Celtic knots and dozens of tutorials on how to make them, then took those knots and the techniques to make them and distilled them down into a set of standard elements. I took those elements and converted them into a font.
Basic knots:
There are over 200 "characters" or knot-pieces in this font, so the combinations you can make are nearly endless. Let's start with just 9 of them, located conveniently in one corner of you computer keyboard:
The corners of this square make the corners of a knot. The sides make the sides of a knot and the middle makes....you guessed it, the middle of a knot.
If you type each row of three keys followed by the Enter key, the Celtic Knot Font will make this pattern:
As you can see, it makes a nice square knotwork design. Let's get a little more fancy. If we type more of the letters that make the top edge, the middle section, and the bottom edge we can extend the knot like this:
See how the "a" key makes the left side and the "d" key makes the right side? Watch this:
Using these two keys will make a vertical break in the weave. This is the basis of all Celtic Knotwork. Make a grid and introduce breaks into the grid to create a decorative pattern. Likewise we can use the "w" key and the "x" key to make horizontal breaks. Like this:
These examples were made using just 9 of the pieces available in the Celtic Knot Font. There over 200 different pieces available in the full font!
By assembling these pieces you can make thousands of different Celtic Knots.
The Font works on any PC or Mac, with no special software needed.
