Thinking Of You in Cursive

How to write the word thinking of you in cursive — watch it drawn, trace every stroke, and take the free worksheet to paper.

There are 13 letters in thinking of you, but only 6 strokes: t-h-i-n-k-i-n-g in one continuous stroke, then o-f in one continuous stroke, then y-o-u in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i (×2) and cross the t. Play the animation to see how the letters flow together, then trace the whole word and download the printable practice sheet.

t, h, k, and f are tall letters that reach toward the topline. g, f, and y drop below the baseline. i, n, o, and u stay between the baseline and the midline.

How the letters in thinking of you connect

Follow the joins as you write thinking of you: t ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of k; k ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; the remaining 5 joins follow the same rhythm to the end of the word. Remember: lift between words and leave a finger space.

thinking of you starts with the letter t, which opens on an undercurve. Start there every time — the entry stroke is what the trace check on this page listens for first.
