Megara
Article © MAIL User: Corvus
Megara is a weave by Sara Reading and a Byzantine variation named after the ancient city in Attica Greece where the founders of Byzantium originated from.
Used here 1.2mm copper wire 6mm ID for the large rings and 1mm copper wire 4mm ID for the smaller rings (AR of 5 & AR of 4 are perfect for this weave (Ed - note different wire diameter used)).
Start with 4 closed and 8 open small rings.
Step 1
Put 4 closed small rings onto a large ring and close it.
Step 2
Add another pair of small rings to the 2 pairs on the large ring, like so.
Step 3
On one set of these fold back the first 2 rings a la Byzantine, like so.
Step 4
Repeat and repeat again on the other side, like so.
Step 5
Pick up the 4 'inside' rings with a large ring, like so.
Add 4 closed small rings to the large ring then close it.
Repeat Step 2.
Repeat Step 3.
Repeat Step 4 etc etc.
