Hi, I'm probably being a complete idiot but I have a real mental block with this, can someone tell me how I make a pattern like this in Illustrator (CS6) please? I'd like to be able to make the loops bigger (and smaller) too as shown in orange but want all the loops to be exactly the same size, it all needs to be accurate.

Whilst I'm here I'd like to know how to do these too please if anyone knows how I'd go about it? Any help muchly appreciated, thanks :O)

That looks like a simplified venus pentagram. There is a script that can draw it, but it only works with Illustrator CS5 and earlier.

OK, in the meantime you can use and modify her files when you have bought them.
