Interlocking Trellis Pattern Coloring Page, Notched X Crosses
Notched X forms lock arm-in-arm across the page in this interlocking trellis pattern coloring page, leaving angular white pockets that practically beg for contrasting color.
The design is built from repeating units where angled arms reach outward and interlock with neighbors, creating a continuous lattice that reads alternately as a trellis grid and as four-pointed X crosses depending on where your eye lands. The negative space between units forms small diamond-like voids and compact square pockets, giving the composition a restless, woven energy.
This interlocking trellis pattern coloring page rewards colorists who like to map zones before picking up a single tool. Coloring the X forms in one hue and the surrounding lattice in another produces a completely different visual effect than treating each pocket individually. The lines are moderately fine and close together, so sessions feel focused and methodical rather than rushed.

Usage Notes
Colored pencils are the natural fit here because the narrow corridors between lines call for a sharp point you can control easily. Blending pencils let you soften transitions between adjacent zones without flooding the tight gaps. Gel pens work nicely for solid fills in the small diamond pockets, though a broad-tipped gel pen is likely to bleed across lines in the denser sections, so keep the tip fine.
Printing Tips
A 24 lb or heavier inkjet paper keeps the fine lines from feathering and holds up to pencil pressure without dimpling. If your printer has a best-quality or high-resolution mode, use it here since the close line spacing will look muddy at draft settings.
