Half Persian 3 in 1 Faceted

This tutorial starts with a Half Persian 3 in 1 chain, but does not demonstrate how to make it. There are a considerable number of existing tutorials available for it already. This tutorial demonstrates how to build HP3-1 Faceted off both left, and right-handed HP3 chains, so just follow the left, or right pieces in the pictures based on what your starter chain looks like.

The rings in this tutorial have an AR of 5.3. The chain has a lot of flexibility at this size. An smaller AR can be used, but the chain tightens up and doesn't have much flex by the time 5.0 is reached. Increasing the AR is ok, and the chain is nice up to at least 5.9 (as personally tested).

  1. Lay the HP3-1 chain down, peak up. The chain at this point is 6 cells long. The top cell is brown. This tutorial switches between brown and white ring cells.

  2. Fold over the very top ring (brown). It will only fold in one direction.

  3. Fold over the next ring (brown). This can be seen as the Half Persian 3 in 1 changing direction. It will be extended by one cell over the next two steps before changing direction again.

  4. Add a single ring (white), making sure it's leaning properly against the last ring (brown), which is leaning against its predecessor.

  5. Add the next ring (white), as to complete this HP3-1 cell, while ensuring it's leaned properly against the previous ring (brown).

  6. Similar to step 2, fold over the very furthest extending ring (white).

  7. Similar to step 3, fold over the other ring in the same cell (white). Now we're starting to make the HP3-1 zigzag.

  8. Add a single ring (brown), making sure it's leaned properly under the last ring (white). Unlike in step 4, this one is situated under the ring in the previous cell, instead of above it.

  9. Add the next ring (brown), which completes this HP3-1 cell.

  10. Just like in step 2, fold over the very top ring (brown).
    Step 10.jpg


  11. Just like in step 3, fold over the next ring (brown).
    Step 11.jpg


  12. As in step 4, add the next ring (white).
    Step 12.jpg


  13. As in step 5, complete the HP3-1 cell.

Continue repeating the steps of flipping both rings in the last added cell, then adding a single 2-ring HP3-1 cell in the other direction to continue the chain.
