Orbital Chain Maille



I noticed that there are not many math enthusiasts as no one commented wanting to know about Aspect Ratio. ;-)

Here is the Orbital Chain Maille bracelet I promised yesterday. Can you tell the difference?

It is hard to see but all rings are doubled. The Barrel Chain Maille Bracelet from yesterday only has one connecting ring between the segments.

Any one have a choice?

"Orbital" Chain Maille Bracelet


When I teach a Chain Maille class, I always take my Chain Maille examples with me. It does two things.

1) I can show my students what Chain Maille is
2) Show them the various patterns they can make
3) Interest them in making a pattern other than the one they are making in the current class. Is that marketing?

Well, the latest favorite pattern to make is what I was told is called "Orbital". I say that since so many Chain Maille patterns have several names. It is relatively easy and really looks nice when finished. It has some airiness and width to it.





Would this pattern be on your "to do" list?
