Thread: Connecting cyrillic letters?

I have perfected writing individual Cyrillic letters in cursive but I am wondering is there a certain way you should connect them or is ok to connect them in anyway as long as it's legible?

There are certain patterns, also there are more and less common ways to connect the letters.
