Recently I wondered about the interlaced split rings. Muskaan made a very good tutorial on his blog, but I never see a pattern that uses this technique.
Muskaan kindly indicated publications in which this technique is used to make bookmarks. By adding pearls, I told myself that it could make a bracelet with 3 rows of split rings.
So I started my interlaced split rings following Muskaan’s tutorial, that is to say with 6 shuttles … a real nightmare ٩(⚙ȏ⚙)۶
I quickly realized that I could do this in another way, much less difficult: First make a first row of split rings, then a second, and interlaced the third using Celtic shuttles.
For the 3rd row of split rings, proceed as follows:
This will be done in the same way for the next ring, but the reverse will have to go back to the back of the work.
Conclusion of this experiment:
- First, I didn’t really do what I thought at the start.
- Then, we can say that I used Vega 40 because I wanted to at the time, but using a thicker wire would better highlight the interlacing.
- On the other hand, the choice of the color of the threads and beads is far from being clever. I think there would be much better to do to make this pattern interesting.
- And finally, I apologize because due the trial and error at the start, my work lacks neat. It is far from impeccable, but I share my experience with you in the hope that it can be useful to someone. As for me, I don’t want to do it again to improve for the moment. ₊⚛⁺(ؔ꒨◡ؔ꒨)ᵌ
Excellent experiment!! In fact you have intermixed interlocking SR braid ;-D
Thanks for sharing your experience and pattern.
Thanks for your very good tutorial Muskaan!
Very interesting! No apologies needed, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jane!
Where can one find the metal closure that is used for this bracelet? What is the name for this type of closure
It’s a clasp to tighten for ribbon.
