I could kiss you. It took me hours to learn this weave the first time. I promptly didn't use it for several months and forgot how to make it. Went back to learn it, and wasted 3 fruitless hours. Finally gave up on it until I couldn't avoid it any more... found your tutorial on a quick search, and had a piece in less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much! Consider yourself +1 fan.
BEST TUTORIAL EVER! You have been such a huge help - I was busy using instructions that a client paid for and downloaded to try and help her, as she just couldn't get it. I was getting nowhere. So I turned to the 'net, and found lots of other instructions that made no sense. But yours made the light dawn on me, and 15 mins later, I am doing it perfectly! Thanks so much. Now I can go and teach my client, too.
Excellent tutorial - I'm a total newbie and I got it within 5 minutes: very methodical, and GREAT to present it from the viewpoint of the student. Your weaving skills are outstanding - only excelled by your ability to pass you skills to others: well done!
I know it will take practice, but this is one of the best tutorials I've ever viewed for chainmaille weaving. I love the fact that you used the big rings as it makes it a lot easier to actually see what you're doing and the placement of the rings. I subscribed to your channel based on this tutorial.......
I realize this was posted 10 years ago but I just have to say yours is the clearest video on Persian 4 in 1 weave. I have watched A LOT of Persian 4 in 1 vids and well suffice to say yours is the clearest and easiest to follow. THANK YOU! It is a beautiful weave but not easy and I am very happy to have found this vid!
This is WILD, so much clearer than anything I had tried. My friend and I were just joking that we thought this weave is impossible, and this tutorial made it clear! Thank you!!
Holy Guacamole. This saved me so much time and aggrevation. This was one of those weaves I rarely do because starting it was difficult. With this tutorial, now I will be making a lot more of this. Thank you so so very much.
the first time i saw this tutorial, i was able to learn it without even knowing how to do a persian 3 in 1, i understood this one quickly, and then, later, after not being able to successfully understand other tutorials on the persian 3 in 1, i come back and using this, i was able to understand it- what i’m trying to say is that this is an amazing tutorial! stellar job!
So glad I found your tutorial. So much easier to follow than others I have seen. Using the large rings was a tremendous help showing the viewer where the rings are placed rather than looking at someone's fingers. I hope to see more of your videos. Thanks so much.
My Gods, I love you!!! I have spent more hours than I care to admit trying unsuccessfully with multiple tutorials to learn this weave, and you DID teach me within half an hour. I am amazed, and I take my hat off to you, sir!
Absolutely superior tutorial. Nailed this weave on my first attempt, thanks to your clear instructions! Doing a tutorial with giant rings is the best way to demo! Thank you!!
This looks simple. I will try it when I get home. Everything else I have seen have you too make a template and makes it look hard too make.... thank you Larry Dallas
OMG! I finally understand how to do this weave! I have been struggling. Using the really big rings is genius - I’d love to see you do more tutorials because of that! Also - you’re LEFT-HANDED! It’s so hard sometimes to visually flip tutorials with complicated weaves so it’s a huge bonus for me to see this done by a fellow lefty. Please make more videos!!!
Phenominal video, it allowed me to figure out the weave in 5 minutes. I’ve watched a few others and they fell short of giving a full understanding of how to make a solid 4 in 1
Looked at so many sites and videos and it did not make any sense to me. Watched yours a few times and it finally clicked. So easy once you get rolling! I can't believe I was having such a hard time. Your method works so great thanks!
Brilliant tutorial! I was completely confused by this weave and could not figure it out. One viewing of your tutorial and I immediately got it. Once I got it started it was easy. Thanks!
Upon first watching this I was I was like “it’s so annoying that this guy sounds really sure that I will eventually get this weave after watching this video cause I am a total idiot”. I racked my brain watching it months ago, couldn’t get it, and accepted failure. I came back watched it again and was like “hol up, I get it!” And it clicked. Of all the HP4 how to I’ve seen, this has the simplest, most straightforward approach-for me at least. Using the large rings to demo it was super helpful too! I can’t thank you enough man! 🖤⛓️
THANK YOU!!!!! I made a length of this once but with help from someone far more skilled than myself to get it going! By far one of my favourite weaves!! I completely get it now and see how simple it is! THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for this. You made it so simple, and in about an hour I was in full swing. The demo with the large rings is awesome and it helped me to see the hook, when passing the ring though the other rings. Great Job!
I really appreciate how you showed this using the larger rings for demonstration. You made a really good tutorial here, a nice logical progression. And I like the bracelet too! Thanks so much!
Thank you for showing this weave using the large rings. That really helped in understanding since the larger rings are so easy to see. Great instructions!!
Thanks so much, I was having so much trouble trying to learn this weave! This is by far the easiest tutorial on the internet! Keep making tutorials, I love it!
Good to hear! I currently have a few more tutorials in the works, and one is for some colorful key chains, made from 4-1 box weave. Check back in a couple weeks! :)
Wow! I haven’t checked this video in months, and I am just stunned at the wonderful responses people have left. I’m thrilled that you have found this so helpful, and thank you for the great comments. It really means a lot to me. I am in the process of moving, but once I’m settled I now have plans to make some more videos :)
Matthew Perry very helpful tutorial, this is the easiest way to make this weave. Finally i did it! Now, i'm having problems with dragonscale and full persian. Could you do a tutorial, please? :)
Thank you so much for this video!!! It's the first time after, trying forever, that I've been able to make a HP4-1 chain. Your technique is terrific. I did have to watch several times because for me, you went through the actual weave step to quickly. Once I realized I had to got up then through two Not one rings it worked. I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly, the plus sized rings was amazing for being able to visualize it. Finally close to finishing my first (excessively ambitious) scale mail project, and looking forward to trying this next.
This is the best tutorial I've seen on the Persian 4-1. You've taught me through this video and I am very thankful. The video quality is great and so are the instructions. I look forward to seeing other tutorials by you.
WOW! This is great! One of my hang-ups is that I open rings left-handed, opposite of the tutorial. I thought it through and turned everything around and voila! I love this chain. The big rings in the video are really helpful. Give us more, please!
I am a brand new weaver and have only done a couple simple projects (Earrings, basic 4n1, and a byzantine chain)... I have to say, you have done a fine job explaining the process and I really like what you did with the extra large rings for display purposes. I am definitely subscribing and look forward to my next project now more than ever. Thanks!!
Hi Matthew, Thankyou for your awesome tutorial. I've tried watching others videos on this weave and have not been able to grasp it. Watching your video I was able to learn this weave in 10 mins. Thankyou so much.
You're the third tutorial video I've watched for this weave, and the ONLY one that made any fucking sense. Thank you, I truly cannot express my gratitude enough
Thank-you so much - I've seen these bracelets before but couldn't afford them - I made one out of copper jump rings I made for less than $1. The kindness of people teaching other people for no cost, and the creativity of people amaze me.
Hi everyone, unfortunately I cannot take requests at this time. I do have plans for more tutorials, but they are currently taking a back seat to an electrician's apprenticeship that I was accepted into this summer. Hopefully things will slow down a bit this fall/winter. I'll post more videos as I can :)
+Matthew Perry What, you value your career and livelihood over teaching strangers how to do chainmaille over the internet? See how you are? Lol Seriously, thank you for the excellent and helpful tutorial.
I was looking for something to make that wasnot a paricord bracelet. My brother had surgery two weeks ago and needs a project to keep him busy. Thanks again I love it.
Ok, I have to say, this was an amazing tutorial. I played it once, and bam, I made a bracelet. No confusion, no "wait, what did he do?" nothing. It just worked perfectly the first time through so well that I was like "gee, what does everyone think is so hard about this weave? This was easy!" And I started a new one without even having to watch it again to remind myself how to start! Great job! :)
I wasn't having luck with this until I realised my rings were opened the other way. Makes all the difference trying to get through the two rings. Now it's easy.
thank you, that really helped me a whole lot!! I like the fact that you used really big rings so that I could see what the hell you were doing!! Some tutorials on making maille and other intricate work, all you can see is the persons hands!! This was awesome!! Keep doing what you're doing!
I'm actually hating the big rings because you can't handle actual rings this way at all so we're just left to figure out on our own how to get several steps in without letting the rings fall out of order.
@@NiteSaiya but it's easier to see what he's doing without the person's hands or tools being in the way. How he holds them is irrelevant because we all hold our work and tools our own way, what's important is the weave/pattern of the rings. Once that clicks in your head its cake. At least it was for me. I tried 3 or 4 different methods from other videos and this is the only one that made sense to me, but that may just be because of how my brain sees it as a puzzle? I hope you find what works for you
Get your chapstick handy, cause I could kiss you too. I’ve lost count how many other tutorials I’ve watched. I’ve unload chained so many times I’ve had to toss jump rings too marred up. Thank you for using those giant visuals, they really helped me understand exactly where the rings go.
Thanks a lot man. I learned this weave years ago...then I forgot how to start it. Every tutorial I found might as well have been in Ancient Greek, for all the sense they made, lol.
Getting it started from scratch was the toughest part like you said. But after that initial difficulty I think I did alright on my first try. Great tutorial!
If I had seen this weave tutorial made by anyone else than you, I might have chucked the video. Lol ! Thank you for using big links with different colors to demonstrate this tutorial! = )
Great tutorial! I found it a little difficult being right handed, so i held them in my left hand and kept the "bottom" row on the top. Then it went much more quickly!
It took a few days of trying but I was finally able to make a length of this. My issue is holding rings without them flopping and falling out of my hands until things stabilize. Probably a few more days of just practising the start. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Hi, I just had to say that this is a great tutorial! I successfully learned how to do it and have a beautiful bracelet in time for Valentine's day! Though it was hard, I spent a couple hours one night practicing and kept ending up with small segments and then a mess up...but after putting it aside for a couple days I sat down today and have made an entire length and it looks great!
Your instructions are amazing! I'm going to give it a shot! This, as others have made note on as well, is one of the best detailed instructionals I've ever watched! Now, how about giving one on Kumihimo using all silver and crystal? I would be in your debt forever! You would be my hero! To2
I just wanted you to know that I have directed numerous fellow maillers over to your tutorial. It is by far the best tutorial for learning HP 4-1 compared to any others out there. It would be great if you could produce other tutorials for learning other weaves in your spare time, if you have any! Good luck in your electrician's apprenticeship but I also hope you can find some extra time to help maillers who learn better visually than by a written tutorial. Thanks!
That's great, and thank you! I'm glad the tutorial has been so helpful! To be honest, at this time I actually only know a handful of weaves - I've experimented with various anodized colors, metals and clasps more recently. For example Byzantine turns out awesome using stainless steel and nickel silver (an alloy - no actual silver in it though). What's good about it is how tough the stainless and the alloy are, and they're quite resistant to tarnishing too. I use the nickel silver for the 2 rings in the middle of each repeating pattern for Byzantine. All that being said, when I get back into making videos, I'll do my best to make good stuff :)
Thank you Matthew! I'm sure others, as well as myself, will benefit with your future tutorials. They are clear and you make it simplistic which is easier to understand and pick up. I look forward to it and I hope your endeavours to become a certified electrician works out for you!
Hi, great tutorial, saw this quite a while ago but found it again today as I need to make more necklaces and this style is perfect for the pendants I have in mind... There is one crucial part you haven't mentioned tho.. I was following or at least trying to follow what you were showing, and was able to hold the initial rings easily, but putting the next ring through the back rings.. I realized being left handed, and opening the rings away from me.. didn't work.. I had to go through and RE open the rings towards me, so, 100 rings later.. I managed to be able to follow your instructions easier.. I'm sure i'm not the only person who opens rings away from them... Just a heads up for tutorials that this is a crucial piece of info for ... :) Definitely much easier than most of the other tutorials tho, even with the blonde moment..
Matt, I just wanted to tell you that, I don't know what you do during your day job, BUT you are the first person to ever explain this in such an easy way and FAST too! I have been making jewelry as my full time profession, (Facebook.com/Richard K. Wilson) RKOriginals Jewelry; and I cannot tell you how satisfactory your teaching and tutorial making is!!!! keep it up, and both me and my students cannot wait for the next one! Don't make us wait forever. Richard Wilson
This was the best tutorial I have ever read on ANY chainmail weave. Can you please explain how to reverse this? 3-1 or 4-1? doesn't matter...I can't seem to figure it out on my own.
I find that its easier to start big (larger rings) larger rings are much easier to hold and then you can begin to down size (to smaller rings of desired size) b/c once your passed the initial portion in the beginning of the weave of trying to hold everything, not being able to set it down etc... its a breeze.... so I always keep a portion over what I will need as a starter for the next time.....( you can up-size or down-size from what you left off last time.) Hope this is helpful to someone :) Happy New Year everyone!!!! Stay Safe.
Please, Please, Please make a tutorial on how to close Half Persian 4 in 1 bracelet using EPDM rings! Any advice that you could share would be most helpful. Thank you so much!

To be honest, at this time I actually only know a handful of weaves - I've experimented with various anodized colors, metals and clasps more recently. For example Byzantine turns out awesome using stainless steel and nickel silver (an alloy - no actual silver in it though). What's good about it is how tough the stainless and the alloy are, and they're quite resistant to tarnishing too. I use the nickel silver for the 2 rings in the middle of each repeating pattern for Byzantine. All that being said, when I get back into making videos, I'll do my best to make good stuff :)
Thank you Matthew! I'm sure others, as well as myself, will benefit with your future tutorials. They are clear and you make it simplistic which is easier to understand and pick up. I look forward to it and I hope your endeavours to become a certified electrician works out for you!
Hi, great tutorial, saw this quite a while ago but found it again today as I need to make more necklaces and this style is perfect for the pendants I have in mind...
There is one crucial part you haven't mentioned tho..
I was following or at least trying to follow what you were showing, and was able to hold the initial rings easily, but putting the next ring through the back rings.. I realized being left handed, and opening the rings away from me.. didn't work.. I had to go through and RE open the rings towards me, so, 100 rings later.. I managed to be able to follow your instructions easier.. I'm sure i'm not the only person who opens rings away from them... Just a heads up for tutorials that this is a crucial piece of info for ... :)
Definitely much easier than most of the other tutorials tho, even with the blonde moment..
Great Video, I am brand new and was able to make this after watching your video. Thank you very much
great tutorial and easy to understand. I look forward to trying this, as before I was afraid to try.. thank you
Fantastic tutorial! You have made it look easy to do, so I am eager to have a go! Thankyou x

Best tutorial from all. Thanks for sharing. Regards from Rio de Janeiro.
Great video! Definitely the only video needed to learn this weave.
Matt, I just wanted to tell you that, I don't know what you do during your day job, BUT you are the first person to ever explain this in such an easy way and FAST too! I have been making jewelry as my full time profession, (Facebook.com/Richard K. Wilson) RKOriginals Jewelry; and I cannot tell you how satisfactory your teaching and tutorial making is!!!! keep it up, and both me and my students cannot wait for the next one! Don't make us wait forever. Richard Wilson
Thanks alot for this great Video. I had some trouble figuring out how to properly start on this chain.

Wow, it looks simple, can't wait to try, i've been struggling with this one!
You are my HERO right now!
THANK YOU !!! the 4th tutorial in line ....and i finally got it !!!! yay
I liked this , nice and clear. I don't suppose you could do one on an inverted aura?
This was the best tutorial I have ever read on ANY chainmail weave. Can you please explain how to reverse this? 3-1 or 4-1? doesn't matter...I can't seem to figure it out on my own.
I find that its easier to start big (larger rings) larger rings are much easier to hold and then you can begin to down size (to smaller rings of desired size) b/c once your passed the initial portion in the beginning of the weave of trying to hold everything, not being able to set it down etc... its a breeze.... so I always keep a portion over what I will need as a starter for the next time.....( you can up-size or down-size from what you left off last time.) Hope this is helpful to someone :) Happy New Year everyone!!!! Stay Safe.
Please, Please, Please make a tutorial on how to close Half Persian 4 in 1 bracelet using EPDM rings! Any advice that you could share would be most helpful. Thank you so much!
Excellent video! Thank you so much for taking the time in making this.
I love this beautiful chain...but I just don't have the patience. Thank you so much for your great tutorial though.
Matthew....your tutorial is great....very easy to follow. I was wondering if you could do one on dragon back weave and viper weave also....thanks.
