This is a cool looking weave, guess I need to go check out the tomes!

Kudzu weave
I just bought Ti to do a Kudzu bracelet. Now I have to figure out how to do Kudzu lol I see the Byz and the barrel weave and looked up Rhino snorting but still new enough to Chainmaille that I have to put it all together. Any idea who did it originally? I would love to buy a tutorial. It’s all...

I have done this with 18g SWG 7/32 and it is tight. Can this be done in other sizes of 18g and or 16g? With it still keeping reality its shape?
There's some further discussion of this weave here:

reported being able to use 16 SWG 9/32 with success. That was with titanium and an AR of 4.85 though.
If 18SWG 7/32 is tight, you should be able to go up a step or two for a slightly less tight chain. I haven't tested these, but you could potentially use 18SWG 15/64 or potentially 18SWG 1/4. It really depends on the actual AR of the rings though, too far out and it will get "floppy".
