Byzantine (photos)Submitted by tipo mastr ( tipomastr at gmail.com )

Okay, this is a tutorial for a very well-known weave: byzantine. It is using my

"speed weaving" method. It isn't exactly speed weaving (that definition varies

among how you do it), but it is faster than most ways of building byzantine. In thistutorial, I am using 16 gauge 1/4", but my AR is a bit too high. A good AR is 3.9, it

makes it not lay flattish. This is using 2 inner connecting rings. Now, to the tutorial.

Step 1:

First, make a 2-2-2 unit. I am using stainless, copper and brass, for ease of

identification. You don't need to, it just helps the explanation process.

Step 2:

Now, fold one of the the brass rings under the steel rings, and one above them,

leaving them sticking out somewhat.

Step 3:Hook a steel ring through the brass rings, but in-between the copper rings. Do NOT

close it.

Step 4:

Put two closed brass rings on this open ring. Close the stainless ring.

Step 5:

Double that steel ring, and put two copper rings on those two brass rings. At this

point, you are essentially back at step 1.

Step 6:

Like in step 2, fold one of the farthest right rings under the second to the right rings

and one above them.

Step 7:

Put a steel ring through the copper rings, and do NOT close it.

Step 8:

Again, put two closed rings on the open one, and close it. Double this steel ring.

Step 9:

Add on two rings to the farthest right rings.

To continue, repeat steps 5-9.

As you can see, 16 gauge 1/4" rings are too loose, causing rings to flop easily, like

here.

To rectify this, you could make the two connecting rings 3, like this:

Or use a lower AR:

There are many fun things to do with byzantine, like moebiusing the rings.

or doing a 3 connecter moebius: (yes, I know the picture is a bit fuzzy)

Also try using beads on wire for connecters, or other redundant things.

Have fun with this cool weave!
