Checks mehndi design: checkerboard, checked fingers, diagonal checks

Checks mehndi fills part of the hand with a checkerboard, alternate squares filled solid, for a graphic modern look. Young women wear it for Karva Chauth, Teej or Eid. These nine show a checkerboard on the back of the hand, small checks on each finger, and a diagonal band of checks from the little finger to the wrist. Type a change, such as with flowers, and the check pattern carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What do the three layouts show?

A checkerboard on the back of the hand with every second square filled, checks on each finger with plain fingertips, and a diagonal band of checks with leaves on either side.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Bold black uses crisp outlines with alternate squares filled solid. Fine detail uses small squares with dotted edges. Henna brown draws the checks as a reddish-brown stroke.

Can I ask for wide checks or flowers?

Yes. Type the change you want, such as wide checks or with flowers; it is a request, and the picture may differ from these samples.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
