Instructions by Zlosk

Materials

This weave works best using rings with an aspect ratio around 6.4 (after springback). This works out to:

  • 14 ga. (.080) x .512 (about 1/2) I.D.
  • 16 ga. (.062) x .397 (about 3/8) I.D.
  • 18 ga. (.045) x .288 (about 1/4) I.D.
  • 20 ga. (.032) x .205 (about 3/16) I.D.
  • 22 ga. (.025) x .160 (about 5/32) I.D.
  • 24 ga. (.020) x .128 (about 1/8) I.D.

Steps 1 - 7 require (18) rings.
Each step 8 requires another (8) rings.
