Silver Chainmail Necklace with Pink Teardrop Beads

I double-checked, and the small rings are 3.5mm ID, not 4mm. 18-gauge.

sorry disregard the previous comment i didnt see you already mentioned it

thank you very much but i have one more question do you recall the gauge of the rings you used

For the top row I used 7mm rings for the large rings, and I think the small rings are 4mm.

Step 1: You start with 4 large rings (shown in blue) stacked together, and join them with 3 small rings (shown in green), as follows:

Step 2: Next, spread out 2 of the large rings, so that you have 2 on each side of the small rings:

Step 3: Then, take another large ring, and loop it around the 3 small rings, and between the 2 big rings on either side. Here's the front view:

And here's what it looks like from the edge:

Step 4: Next, attach another 3 small links to 2 of the large links:

Step 5: Link 2 more large rings through the 3 small rings:

Step 6: As in step 3, take a large ring and loop it around the 3 small rings:

Continue in this manner until you have a chain of the desired length.

Step 7: To join this to the next row, link 2 small rings to a single large ring:

Step 8: Link a large ring through the 2 small rings:

Step 9: Link 2 more small rings through the large ring you just added, and through the single large ring in the row above. The large ring in the 2nd row will now sit directly below the double rings in the row above.

Step 10: Add another set of 2 small rings, 1 large ring, and 2 small rings, as shown. The single ring in the top row will now have 4 small rings attached to it.

Step 11: Join the 2 large rings in row 2 with 2 small rings.

i know this is a really old post but is there anyway that i could get a picture or diargram where the "helm" pattern you used connects to the other portion of the necklace
