Description Elfweave tutorial. This is not a beginner's tutorial; Elfweave is temperamental and takes quite a bit of practice. But I encourage you to try!

If you use this, credit in the form of a link is not necessary, but greatly appreciated.
Also, please comment on this or on my page to show me what you made! Thanks!


The bracelet I made during this tutorial can be found at my Etsy shop: [link]

Great job! It is a beautiful weave, looks complicated but the way you have presented it it is anything but.

Hey, thanks for the tutorial! Extremely informative, although I've gotta disagree on one thing. You say that it's extremely sensitive with the AR, but I'm working with some El Cheapo 5.3 AR rings and, so long as the tension is kept at least slightly, it works just fine.

This is a great tutorial for a beautiful weave. I saw it on the day it was a DD and it was one of the things that made me decide to try making maille. Now I've found it again, I'm definitely going to give it a try!

where did you buy those rings?

ArmoredKoi In reply to specialistas [2012-02-04 03:28:58 +0000 UTC]

These are enameled copper and stainless steel -- you can get them at online shops like TheRingLord, C and T designs, or Blue Buddha Boutique. (:

Not for beginners indeed. I've tried several times to make sheets of elfweave. I think you've made your tutorial easy enough for me to understand and try it again. If only this could be as easy as HP3-1 sheets. /sigh

Oh, and congrats on the DD!

ArmoredKoi In reply to Rolytic [2012-02-04 03:30:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I've yet to do the sheet. I'm really glad that my tutorial made it easy. Try try again!
I've never done HP 3:1...

Thank you!
