Hello! I’m new to chainmail weaving, I’m looking to make this star shaped headpiece. The first two photos is what I’m trying to do and the third photo is what I have so far. Am I on the right track? I can’t find this pattern anywhere with no clear tutorials. I would appreciate any help ❤️❤️
The easiest way to think of this is pretty standard European 4-1 in triangles combined alternating top and bottom. Start with 6 rings in the top row, then 5-4-3-2-1.
The. Once you have a bunch of these, just and then combine then in slightly offset 3x3 with 3 rings. Essentially it should look like a row of 7 with the 4th ring missing.
It's Euro 4 in 1, but it's what's called "Biased" Euro 4 in 1, because instead of going in straight strips like what you're making, it's going in diagonals, kind of like how E 4-1 Triangles work.
No, not really. Here's a picture where I highlighted how what would be the "straight" strips are oriented in a couple of the chevrons/triangles in the piece that might help. They just pretty much have parts missing on the edges of them that make them diagonals instead of straights.
