Elfweave
(CGI)
Article © MAIL User: cohort

Elfweave seems to work best with 4:1 AR rings (as in, 1/4" id x 1/16" (16ga) wire).

1 - Make a chain of 5 rings, laid out roughly as follows.

2 - Link an open ring (purple) through the four side rings (blue).

3 - Link two more rings (purple) to the side rings (blue).

4 - Link an open ring (purple) through the four side rings (blue).

Repeat steps three and four until you have it as long as you like.

Once you have gotten the hang of the weave, you may speedweave it using two 1-1 chains of the same length as a start and linking them together using steps two and four as above.
