Chain Maille Tutorials (4/13/2016)
For you chain maille lovers, I have not just a few patterns and tutorials, but 6 collections of patterns and tutorials. Most are free, but some are paid. I find it helpful before buying a tutorial from someone new, to be able to try a free one to see if I like their style of writing instructions.
Chain Maille Tutorials
Chainmaille tutorials are written and organized with easy-to-follow instructions. Most of these chainmaille tutorials are really just instructions to teach variations on the basic chainmaille weaves. These are just the tutorials – if you want a kit with everything you need (including the tutorial) to make a particular item, please go to the ‘KITS’ page.

Weave names can be technical. Some of them contain the weave family name, and certain weaves have an ‘x in y’ designationindicating how many rings go through each ring. Some weave names extend those of a previous version of the weave with the addition of one or more qualifiers. Technical names are used whenever possible, and some weaves are named differently elsewhere.
