Turkish Round (CGI)
Submitted by cohort

This tutorial was rendered using rings of a 4.3 AR (that is, the ring's internal diameter is 4.3 times the cross section of wire)

1. Make a 1-1 chain loop using 6 rings. (note: the horizontal rings are placeholders only here, they aren't part of the weave proper)

2. Add 3 rings to the vertical rings (new rings are yellow, old rings white)
   (looking down from the top)
   



3. Lifting the new horizontal rings to an upward angle, insert three new rings in the same fashion as last step, but allowing them to 'flop' backwards and pulling them up through the middle.

4. Add three more rings, as with byzantine.

You have just completed a single unit of Turkish Round. To extend the piece, simply repeat steps 2 through 4 until you've arrived at the length you desire.
