It's time for a more challenging weave!

Full Persian is a really tricky one to start - a higher aspect ratio leaves lots of room at first, making it harder to tell how to hold it and where to connect your rings.

It's a good idea to develop a collection of "starter sets" - keep about an inch of each weave in a standard size on a paper clip.

Each time you want to make chain you can continue on from what you have, then remove the starter amount. It's so much quicker and less frustrating than trying to start from scratch each time.

Once completed, Full Persian makes a beautifully silky rope of chain that is super-flexible.

Full Persian (also known as Foxtail) is what I used to make my favorite Persian Knot necklace.

Again we're looking at adjusting what you already know, so go take a look at Byzantine and Queen's Link first. I'll show you how to make another tiny adjustment to product a whole new look.
