Thread #8

Abbreviations:
CH: Chain
SCMR: Self Closing Mock Ring
SR: Split Ring
JK: Josephine Knot
- : Picot
+: Join to
RW: Reverse Work
SLT: Shoelace Trick

Instructions:

Start with a SCMR: 8 [JK=10] 8 - 4 - 4 - 8 [JK=10] 8. Close. RW.
SR: 10 / 5 (JK=10) 5.
SR: 3 / 3.
SR: 10 / 5 (JK=10) 5. RW.
* CH: 6 (JK=15) 6 (JK=10) 6 (JK=6) 6 (JK=10) +(make a lock join to the core thread under the JK of 10 on the opposite side) 6 (JK=15) + (make a join lock to the core thread under the JK of 15 on the opposite side)6. Join to the base of the chain. RW.
SR: 10 / 5 (JK=10) 5.
SR: 3 / 3.
SR: 10 / 5 (JK=10) 5.
SCMR: 8 [JK=10] 8 + 4 - 4 - 8 [JK=10] 8. Close. SLT. RW.
(Note: this SLT is not really necessary. I use it because when I turn to make the chain, the SCMR keeps opening and make my chain sloppy. It’s up to you if you want to make the SLT or just reverse your work)
Continue from * until you have 6 central rings. Join the last Split Ring to the base of the 1st SCMR. Finish with the chain.

Cut and hide ends.
