Half Persian 3-1 Weave

HP 3-1 Chainmail Weave

The Half Persian 3-1 weave is sometimes shortened to HP 3-1. It is an easy weave to learn and is easier than the Half Persian 4-1 (HP 4-1). This chainmail weave is good for making delicate chains as in simple jewelry. But most interesting of all, HP3-1 is great for cabochon wraps.

I recommend Half Persian 3-1 Tutorial from The Ring Lord. The best tip I can give on this weave for beginners is that is you work with different colour rings (e.g. closed rings - one color; open rings - another color). It will save a lot of confusion in trying to identify which ring you are supposed to be working with.

I have a worked sample of the Half Persian 3-1 weave. It is slightly different as I used rings with large ARs and so the weave looks a bit different.
