Modifications of Persian Weaves
Article © MAIL User: Eli
This article is designed for those unfortunate maillers who can make one of the Persian Weaves but not the others. The most common of the Persian Weaves are Full Persian 6 in 1, Half Persian 3 in 1 and Half Persian 4 in 1. I will demonstrate these following items:
Making a chain of HP 3in1 from a chain of FP 6in1.
Transforming HP 3in1 into HP 4in1.
Transforming HP 4in1 into HP 3in1.
The color coding is as follows: Silver rings are rings being added to the weave at the step. Brass-yellow rings are the rings the new ones pass through. Copper-red rings are idle rings at the step.
Full Persian 6 in 1 (CGI)
The rings in this section have an AR of 7.333.
1. Start with a length of FP 6in1 that is enough to make it stable. I found that over 5 ring’s length the FP is stable enough to work with:
2. Now add a single ring through the last two as depicted here:
3. Now pass another ring (note that the placing of the ring is important to the direction of the HP chain. The ring in full silver (right) will make a standard right handed chain. The transparent ring (left) will produce a left handed version. I will describe here the right handed version) through the ring you added in step two and the last ring of the original FP chain, like so:
4. Add a ring through the ring from step 3:
5. Pass a new ring through the rings from step 2 and step 4 in a similar fashion to step 3:
6. This new ring is already in the HP chain, however is not yet stable enough to remove the chain from the FP piece. The ring goes like in step 4, through the last ring added:
7. This ring goes through the rings from steps 4 and 6:
8. Keep adding rings like in step 6 and step 7 to lengthen the chain. The ring from step 6 can be closed and conneceted to the ring from step 7 when it is added to the chain:
9. When you feel that the chain is stable enough to hold its form you can remove it from the FP piece by removing the two rings from steps 2 and 3, marked in gold here (with the HP chain in silver and the FP piece in deep red):
AR of 6
1. Start with a length of HP 3in1. It should be reasonably long. The chain should be laying face down, with the flat side facing you:
2. Now, you need to have 2 rings at the end of the chain instead of the single rings HP 3in1 uses. This will require you to add one or two rings, depending on how you made the chain. For chain shown in step one you will need to add 2 rings:
3. Now, place a closed ring under the last ring in the chain, in the same way you would when making a normal chain of HP 4in1 (Half Persian 4 in 1 (CGI)):
4. Now pass a new ring through the three last rings of the chain and the new ring. Make sure the ring is added correctly, like shown here. This ring passes through two rings of the HP 3in1 chain, and two rings of the new HP 4in1 chain:
5. Place another closed ring under the end of the chain:
6. Pass a new ring through the three last rings of the chain and the new ring. Make sure the ring is added correctly, like shown here. This ring passes through only one ring of the HP 3in1 chain, and through three rings of the new HP 4in1 chain:
7. Continue to add rings as in steps 5 and 6 to lengthen the chain. Now all of the new rings are a part of the HP 4in1 chain:
8. When you feel that the HP 4in1 chain is stable enough to hold its form you can remove it from the HP 3in1 chain by removing the two rings marked in gold here (with the HP 3in1 in copper and the HP 4in1 in silver). You can see both sides:

1. Start with a length of HP 4in1. It should be reasonably long. The chain should be laying like this, so that you easily add rings to the right side. Note that you need to have the rings at the right side as shown:
2. Now, place a closed ring under the last ring in the chain, in the same way you would when making a normal chain of HP 3in1 (Half Persian 3 in 1 (CGI)):
3. Now pass a new ring through the two last rings of the chain and the new ring. Make sure the ring is added correctly, like shown here. This ring passes through two rings of the HP 4in1 chain, and one ring of the new HP 3in1 chain:
4. Place another closed ring under the end of the chain:
5. Pass a new ring through the two last rings of the chain and the new ring. Make sure the ring is added correctly, like shown here. This ring passes through one ring of the HP 4in1 chain, and two rings of the new HP 3in1 chain:
6. Continue to add rings as in steps 4 and 5 to lengthen the chain. Now all of the new rings are a part of the HP 3in1 chain:
7. When you feel that the HP 3in1 chain is stable enough to hold its form you can remove it from the HP 4in1 chain by removing the two rings marked in gold here (with the HP 4in1 in copper and the HP 3in1 in silver). You can see both sides:
Here you can see a chain of HP3in1 (on the left) connected to a chain of HP4in1(on the right). The other photo shows a close up on the connecting area:
