Recently, a reader of Advanced Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop<\/em><\/strong> asked me for some clarification on how to start the Elfsheet Ombre Ring. I prepared some additional information to go along with the instructions in the book. I\u2019m sharing it here, hoping other readers may also find it helpful.<\/p>\n

1. Start with two 1-by-1 chains, closed end to end.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Hold them side by side as shown.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Pick a spot to begin. You will need to arrange the rings in the chains to form mountains \/\\ and valleys \\\/ as described on page 63. Connect the chains by adding the first jump ring (red) as you would to make Elfweave chain (see illustrations 3 and 4 on page 63 for weaving path).\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Flip the chains over and add the next jump ring in the pattern (green). See illustrations 7 and 8 on page 64 for weaving path.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n5. Continue to add new jump rings (pink, yellow, blue) in Elfweave pattern, flipping the chains over after the addition of each new jump ring.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At this point, your piece should look like this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Repeat as described above, until both 1-by-1 chains are fully connected. Once fully connected, you will have an Elfweave ring.\u00a0 Note: As you continue to add jump rings connecting both1-by-1 chains, the weave will become tighter and it will become a bit more difficult to flip the chains over.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Follow Method 3 on page 71 to widen the Elfweave band, completing your Elfsheet ring.\"\"<\/p>\n
