Aragon
Article © MAIL User: Catweazle
It is the sheet version of Abhainn.
"Abhainn" is gaelic for river and "Aragon" is a river in Spain.
For this tutorial I used 2 different ring sizes (WD/ID):
- small (brass): 1.0 mm / 4.0 mm (AR=4)
- large (aluminium): 1.0 mm / 5.0 mm (AR=5)
Step 0: Before we begin let's take a closer look at the weave.
- Below you can see an Aragon-bracelet.
- If you seperate the different chains from each other, you can see that Aragon consists of alternating 4-in-2-chains and 2-in-1-chains.
- Each chain represents one row in the Aragon-weave.


Now let's connect those chains step by step.
Step 01:
- First make a 2-2-2-2-chain from the small rings. Make it as long as you want. (This will be the second row of your workpiece.)
- Add a small ring to a ringpair.
- Pull another small ring through the neighbouring ringpair and the small ring from the last step.

Step 02:
- Repeat step one for the rest of the chain.
- Now you have finished the first and second row of your workpiece.

Step 3:
- 3rd row: Add a large ring on the other side of the original 4-in-2-chain.
- It is important that the two aluminium-rings, which are hanging in one brass-ringpair, are pointing in the same direction.

Step 4:
- Pull another large ring (alu) through the neighbouring ringpair and the first large ring.
- (The picture shows the same situation from two sides.)

Step 5:
- Now it is step 3 again. But this time the new ring also has to go through the large ring from step 4.

Step 6:
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the rest of your chain.
- (The picture shows the completed row from two different sides.)

Step 7:
- 4th row: In theory it's steps 3 to 5 again, but this time with small rings and you have to double them.
- Start with adding two small rings (brass) to one large ring (alu).

Step 8:
- Pull two small rings (brass) through the neighbouring large ring and the first ringpair of this row.
- (The picture shows the same situation from two sides.)

Step 9:
- Now it is step 7 again. But this time the new rings also have to go through the ringpair from step 8.
- Repeat steps 8 and 9 until you've finished the row.

Step 10:
- Add as many rows as you want.

Step 11:
- The last row has to be a 2-in-1-chain made of small rings. (Steps 1 and 2)

Step 12:
- If your workpiece is not long enough, just extend a single chain and start adding the other rows.

Weave long and prosper!
