An octagon has eight equal sides and eight equal angles.

Drawing – The shape can be created by cutting the corners off a square so all sides are equal. See also Patchwork with Diamonds and Polygons.

Cutting – Start by cutting a square ¹⁄₂in (1.3cm) larger than the desired finished height of the octagon. On the wrong side of the square mark the diagonal lines. Rotate the square so it is on point. Cut the four corners off the square by finding the line on the ruler that is equal to half the cutting height of the square, aligning this with the vertical line drawn on the square.
