It takes a long time to knit chainmaille, but it looks pretty interesting when it is done. It took me a few months to finish this cowl out of felted rings, but I think it was worth the work. The rings are .5" cord with a 1.25" ID woven in a euro 4-1 pattern.
I will be posting pictures of my color and half Persian experimentation soon, and possibly some pictures of a new, faster version of this concept.
