Chainmail ‘European 4-in-1’

Join Monika for a hands-on introduction to one of the most iconic chainmail weaves: the European 4‑in‑1. This classic pattern has been used for centuries in armor and adornment, and in this class you’ll learn how to transform simple metal rings into a smooth, flexible, beautifully draped bracelet.

Monika will guide you step‑by‑step through clean ring handling, maintaining tension, and building the repeating structure that gives this weave its signature look. You’ll leave with a finished bracelet and the confidence to recreate the pattern in different metals, sizes, and styles.

In this class you will learn the fundamentals of the European 4‑in‑1 weave, ring sizes, tools, and terminology and create one completed chainmail bracelet in the European 4‑in‑1 pattern. A perfect class for makers who love detailed, meditative work and want to create a bold, timeless bracelet with serious “wow” factor.

Skill level: Beginner‑friendly; no prior experience needed. Provided: all metal rings and use of shared tools. Please bring reading glasses if needed for close work and your curiosity to play with metal.
