'Scale' pattern #6) Dragonfire (A.K.A. Dracarys)

A pattern/weave I invented & call Dragonfire or Dracarys (Dragontooth 6 in 1). 18g wire; L. rings= 12mm O.D., & S. rings= 10mm O.D.; the "Dracarys" name alternative is a reference to G.R.R. Martin's High Valyrian language in the Game Of Thrones universe that means "Dragonfire".
Unfortunately, no there's not, but a good starting point is to have rings in the same sizes &/or AR's. The way I've learned new chainmail patterns/weaves is by careful observation to detail of the photos or renders found online. For Dragonfire/Dracarys, I think I started by making a piece of super loose Dragontooth/Gridlock Dragonscale, then made the large "scale"rings go through a 3rd row of small rings.
It helps to look at how the top two rows of large "scale" rings are attached to the top 2 rows of the small rings in the patch, & how the bottom row of small rings connects with the bottom two rows of large "scale" rings. As seen in the patch, it grows with a diagonal expansion of the rows.

I have posted a forum thread named "New Members of the Dragonscale Family Tree" featuring this pattern/weave & others that I invented that're based on what's already found online. You might be interested in checking it out, there you can provide your thoughts on both this pattern/weave, & my other inventions, whether you've seen any of 'em before, & what you think of my names.

I'm keen to see how you go, & what you intend to make from this pattern/weave, so please keep me posted.
