Tri-Force (from Half Persian 2 in 1 Spine)

Photo Tutorial Tri-Force (from Half Persian 2 in 1 Spine)

This tutorial demonstrates how to make Tri-Force (https://chainmaillers.com/maillepedia/1613/) from a Half Persian 2 in 1 Spine (https://chainmaillers.com/maillepedia/486/) starter piece. If you don't have one already, refer to the following tutorials:


Tri-Force is a six row tube of Half Persian 2 Sheet 4 in 1 (https://chainmaillers.com/maillepedia/484/) with a triangular cross section. Added rows alternate between using TE (through the eye), and AE (around the eye) connections. The tutorial starts with a Spine that is eight cells long. Continuing an established chain is demonstrated in the last few steps.

Ring size:
The rings used here have an AR of 4.7. This makes a chain with a nice amount of flexibility. It is unfortunately somewhat difficult to add the final row because of space constraints. An AR between 4.5 and 5.2 is ideal for this chain, although it can become difficult to assemble at the lower end of this range.

1. Start with a piece of HP2-1 Spine. Notice that it has four independent rows that alternate lean direction. This tutorial adds two more rows, the second of which will seamlessly sew up the tube.

2. Add the first ring of the fifth row to the bottom right. It makes an AE connection to the first two rings of the previous row.

3. Add the second ring to this row, making an AE connection.

4. Complete the row of AE connections by adding six more rings.

5. Add the final ring to the top of this row. It only passes through one ring.

6. This image shows the first row of the sixth row making a TE connection to the top two rings of the previous row. It is still open. This row will be a different colour to help show the connections.

7. Fold this ring up toward the first row and make an AE connection to its top two rings: those pointed out in the previous image.

8. This image shows the second ring of the sixth row making a TE connection to the (properly arranged) second and third rings of the fifth row. It is still open.

9. Fold up and make an AE connection to the according two rings from the first row.

10. Add the third ring to the sixth row using a TE connection below, and an AE connection above.

11. Add the fourth ring to the sixth row using a TE connection below, and an AE connection above.

12. Add the fifth ring to the sixth row using a TE connection below, and an AE connection above.

13. Add the sixth ring to the sixth row using a TE connection below, and an AE connection above.

14. Add the seventh ring to the sixth row using a TE connection below, and an AE connection above.

15. The final ring of this row connects to two rings: one from each of its adjacent rows.

Lengthening:

16. Spin the chain until it is facing this way, and add the first ring (bronze). It passes through two rings, as will every subsequently added ring in the lengthening process. The first three of these connect to rings of the previous cell. Use the bronze row as a guideline.

17. Flip the chain and add the next ring like the one added in the previous step.

18. Flip the chain and add the next ring.

19. Flip the chain add add the next ring through two of the previously added three.

20. Flip the chain and add the next ring like that from the previous step.

21. Flip the chain and add the final ring of this cell.

Repeat steps 16 - 21 to further continue the chain.
