Fire Wyrm
Article © MAIL User: Zuriel

Fire Wyrm is a fairly basic modification of Full Persian 6 in 1 that produces a totally different feel. Hopefully this tutorial will help you understand how to make it better. Firewyrm requires a very large aspect ratio. This tutorial is made with 3/8" ID 17 gauge AWG galvanized steel rings, which makes the weave totally rigid. The chain in the final picture is made with 7/16" rings.

FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY KNOW HOW TO MAKE FULL PERSIAN 6-1 SKIP TO STEP 3

STEP 1
Start by connecting 6 rings in a 2-2-2 chain:

STEP 2
Push the two rings from one side towards the top of the ring, in between the two rings opposite of it, and hook two links through them, on the inside of the middle two rings. Once you're done thinking 'WHAT?!', go see the more detailed description in kateryne's Full Persian 6-1 tutorial: Full Persian 6 in 1 (CGI).

Step 3
Flatten the weave. Viewed from the end, you will see a doubled x. Put a ring inside the outermost extremities of the x (inside the outer upper right, outer lower right, outer lower left and upper left) while placing the opposite end of each of those rings inside the new ring.... like THIS:

STEP 4
Double up that ring:

Step 5
Continue the Full Persian chain by linking two more rings around the furthest two rings, again see kateryne's Full Persian 6-1 tutorial: Full Persian 6 in 1 (CGI).
