Diagrams: Holly Tessellation

Holly, designed and folded by Michał Kosmulski. See PDF diagrams.

This is a Rosette variant that resembles holly leaves. The model shown here is based on a 16×16 grid, of which the central 14×14 section is a molecule that can be tessellated. It is very similar to my Sol model, where less paper is pushed out, forming the sun’s rays instead of holly leaves. One intermediate step where you have four squares in the center and rectangles around them, is an interesting pattern in itself that I call Close Quarters Folding.

Three similar models designed and folded by the author: Rosette, Sol and Close Quarters Folding, which is an intermediate step in the Holly model.
