Step 2 - Instructions

• Draw a right angle in each of the four quadrants
• The arms of the right angles should be exactly
  one path length away from the center cross (both
  vertical and horizontal components)

Step 3 - Instructions

• Draw a circle with a diameter double that of the
  path width attaching the top of the cross to the
  top of the top right-hand corner right angle
• Remove the bottom portion of the circle that
  obstructs the labyrinth path
• Mark off one dot in each quadrant one path width
  horizontally and vertically from the center of
  the right angle

Step 4 - Instructions

• Starting at the left, right, and top side of the
  central circle, mark out seven positions, each a
  path width apart, on the left and right
  horizontal axis and the top vertical axis
• These points are meant only to guide you in the
  drawing of the labyrinth

Steps 5-11 - Instructions

• Starting with the first right angle on the left
  side and the first dot on the right side, attach
  the two corresponding points with a circular
  shape
• Work around the cross pattern moving
  counter-clockwise around the labyrinth in one
  direction and clockwise in the other
• The labyrinth is completed when the right angle
  in the bottom left quadrant is connected to the
  bottom of the central cross
