The basic configuration ...

 .---.--.          .---.                 ,---.
( (/\ \) )        ( ( \ \               / / ) )
 \/ /\/ /   ____   \ \ \ \       |     / / / /
 / /\/ /\   ----    \ \ \ \    --+--  / / / /
( (\ \/) )           \ \ ) )     |   ( ( / /
 `--`---'             `---'           `---'

Another version ...

     .--..--.
    / .. \.. \
    \ \/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /
     / /\/ /\
    / /\ \/) \
    \ `'\ `' /
     `--'`--'

With a break line ...

     .--..--.     .--..--.
    / .. \.. \   / .. \.. \
    \ \/\ \/ /   | |/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /    | || h/ /
     / /`' /\    | || y /\
    / /`--'\ \   | |\ \/\ \
    \ `----' /   \ `'\ `' /
     `------'     `--'`--'

   horizontal     vertical
    breakline     breakline

A little more complex (bigger) starting configuration, always just interlaced
rings.

     .--..--..--..--.
    / .. \.. \.. \.. \
    \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /
     / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\
    / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \
    \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /
     / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\
    / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \
    \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /
     / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\
    / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \
    \ `'\ `'\ `'\ `' /
     `--'`--'`--'`--'

And now if you make some strategic breaklines you can turn it into a single
big path, in other words a really big and nasty knot :)

     .--..--..--..--.
    / .. \.. \.. \.. \
    \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /
     / /`' /\/ /`' /\
    / /`--'\ \/`--'\ \
    \ \.--./\ \.--./ /
     \/ ../ /\/ ../ /
     / /\/ /`' /\/ /\
    / /\ \/`--'\ \/\ \
    \ \/\ \.--./\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ ../ /\/ /
     / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\
    / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \
    \ `'\ `'\ `'\ `' /
     `--'`--'`--'`--'

... and playing with breaklines, removing some parts ...

     .--..--..--..--.       .--..--..--..--.       .--..--..--..--.
    / .. \.. \.. \.. \     / .. \.. \.. \.. \     / .. \.. \.. \.. \
    \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /     \ \/\ \/\ \/\ \/ /     \ \/\ `'\ `'\ \/ /
     \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /       \/ /\/ /\/ /\/ /       \/ /`--'`--'\/ /
     / /`' /`' /`' /\       / /`' /\/ /`' /\       / /\        / /\
    / /`--'`--'`--'\ \     / /`--'\ \/`--'\ \     / /\ \      / /\ \
    \ \.--.    .--./ /     \ \.--./\ \.--./ /     \ \/ /      \ \/ /
     \/ .. \  / ../ /       \/ ../ /\/ ../ /       \/ /        \/ /
     / /`' /  \ `' /\       / /`' /\/ /`' /\       / /\        / /\
    / /`--'    `--'\ \     / /`--'\ \/`--'\ \     / /\ \      / /\ \
    \ \.--..--..--./ /     \ \.--./\ \.--./ /     \ \/ /      \ \/ /
     \/ ../ ../ ../ /       \/ ../ /\/ ../ /       \/ /        \/ /
     / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\       / /\/ /\/ /\/ /\       / /\.--..--./ /\
    / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \     / /\ \/\ \/\ \/\ \     / /\ \.. \.. \/\ \
    \ `'\ `'\ `'\ `' /     \ `'\ `'\ `'\ `' /     \ `'\ `'\ `'\ `' /
     `--'`--'`--'`--'       `--'`--'`--'`--'       `--'`--'`--'`--'

Doesn't that last one look like a frame border?
