Submitted by Kateryne This is one of the harder weaves to understand at first, but it gets easier. It's a very tight weave, so use large rings for the wire size. Steel rings represent rings added in steps before the current one, copper represents an open ring being added, and gold represents a closed ring being added carried on an open one. 
Put 4 closed rings on 2 open and arrange them like this. 
This is the tricky part - these are two views of the same step. You need to add 2 open rings exactly as shown, if you end up with 4 rings through 4 rings, it is wrong. 
Add 2 open rings to the end. 
Now you're repeating step 2, though it's easier now. Repeat 3 and 4 until the chain is the desired length. View Printable Version |
