Submitted by ELEX Voodoo: How To Voodoo is a weave originally discovered by Coyote. Thank you, Coyote, for sharing this weave with us. In return I would like to post a "How To" as this weave is actually easy to make, but difficult to understand when you begin. To understand Voodoo you need to understand how Moebius Balls are constructed. Materials: In this article I used small rings: Wire Thickness = 1.2mm, small rings ID = 3mm and large rings ID = 6mm. All small rings were preclosed. Pseudo-Technical Description: Voodoo is constructed of interconnected counter-rotating Moebius Balls. Each Moebius Ball consists of four large rings. Each large ring is part of two Moebius Balls. Each Moebius Ball has a set of three small rings around it's center. The Moebius Balls are oriented in a rectangular pattern. Adjoining Moebius Balls are always counter-rotating. Construction:  1. Start with adding six small rings to one large ring. Close the large ring.
 2. Add three small rings to one large ring.
 3. Connect step 2 to step 1 in the following manner: Pass the large ring through three of the small rings ánd through the large ring. Close the large ring.

 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 two more times. Be careful to pass the large ring through all other large rings.
 5. You now have one basic knot of Voodoo.
 6. Expand at will. N.B.: Adjoining Moebius Balls are always counter-rotating.
