Spiral 6 in 1

[Alton H]

I've used an altered form of this weave (spiral 6-in-1) to make a chain. Phosphor bronze, AR of 8.63-9.68 (I did not use calipers, I just used a ruler in milimetres).
20 gauge, ~.7mm wire diameter. 6.9mm inner diameter. Overall chain length is approximately 18.3cm.

81 rings, give or take a couple rings.

What’s the alteration?

This post was originally in the Spiral 4 in 1 thread in the Maillepedia discussion. I'm pretty sure that's what he meant by "altered" form.
