Description

Alligator River is a composition of Half Persian 3 in 1 chains, divided by European 4 in 1 strips. The 2 outside rows of the 3-row E4-1 comprise half of the HP3-1 chains, with the other halves each being the first row of the following E4-1 separation.

In order for this arrangement to have continuity, the HP3-1 chains alternate between left, and right handed versions. Also, the subsequent E4-1 strips alternate lean direction. This structure lends well to tubing, however, an even number of iterations are required for the final Half Persian chains to line up for a proper European connection to be made.

.035" (0.89mm) wire diameter.

stainless steel HP3-1 chains:
9/64" (3.57mm) mandrel
.160" ID
AR of 4.6

bronze E4-1 middle rows:
1/8" (3.175mm) mandrel
.145" ID

This is a much more compact version than what the weave entry picture shows, but still has a full range of flexibility.

1-5/8" (41mm) in both length and width.

Each HP3-1 chain is 12 units long, with each bronze row having 11. The sample contains 199 rings.
