Chain Maille Tutorials (6/23/2015)
There is a burning question I have about chainmaille… What is the proper spelling? I’ve seen chainmaille, chainmail, chain maille and chain mail. The most used variation seems to be “chainmaille” so I’m going to go with it. While you ponder my question and what answer you like, please try some chainmaille – I have a lot of “newbie” patterns today.

Did you know that chainmail was the earliest form of metal armor and was invented as early as 300BC by the ancient Celts? Used as protective armor for centuries by multiple cultures, it’s still being made today – often in the form of jewelry.

You can start in multiple ways – either with the big rings closed and the small ones opened, or inverse, or using the free style (opening and closing each ring at its time). The small rings, when closed, tend to be deformed by the opposition made by the rings inside of them. Because of this I prefer to carefully pass opened big rings through closed small rings as method, like you will see in this tutorial.
