The Basics
There are 3 basic steps – Increase Rings, Decrease Rings, Splice Rings – to constructing with the Chain and Scale Maille from Foam Armory.
How to extend or splice the row:
- Overlap the green sections, the ends of the old and new strands
- Treat them as one ring, and continue your weave
- For starting a project, it may be easier to build a few rows, and then extend them to the desired length
How to make the next row smaller or decrease rings:
- Overlap the two red rings and insert it into the blue ring on the next row
- Decreases are best done in the middle of the project row
- You can decrease multiple times on one row for dramatic shape changes
How to make the next row larger or increase rings:
- Stretch out the orange rings so there is some extra space
- Next row, skip the purple ring, this will add a ring to the row
- Increase are best done in the middle of the project row
- You can increase multiple times on one row for dramatic shape changes
