Description

Half Persian 2 in 1 Sheet 4 Box takes a narrow strip of the naturally curling Half Persian 2 in 1 Sheet 4/Persian 4 in 1 Sheet and forms it into a four-sided tube with a square cross section.

Other versions are possible by altering the total number of rows (or columns, if you prefer), which must be an even number. This version contains 8 rows with the 8th attaching back onto the first. 8 rows = 4 sides.

6 rows = 3 sides requires a slightly larger AR, with AR of 4.4 offering only a small amount of flexibility. AR of 4.6 being ideal.
10 rows = 5 sides, and 12 rows = 6 sides work ideally starting around AR of 4.3.
4 rows = 2 sides is also possible with a successful attempt made at AR of 5.4 with full range of flexibility and room to decrease. As expected, it naturally spirals.

.063" (1.6mm) stainless steel
31/128" (6.15mm) mandrel
.266" ID
AR of 4.2

Despite this being the minimum AR for this weave, it still offers some flexibility. A very gradual spiralling of the chain takes place.
