Weaves List + ARs

Chainmail Weaves List

Weaves, AR, & Tutorials

There are many maille weaves out there: lots and growing. And with gradations of difficulty. It is difficulty to decide where to start, especially when you are a beginner chainmailler.

The following is but a short list which I will add to it over time. The list give a quick overview of (subjective) level of difficulty, the AR(s) required, and a quick peek of what the chainmail weave looks like. I have included links to tutorials that I found were clear and straightforward.
