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.
You would need to find a tutorial for making a sheet of Half Persian. Honestly though I'd probably make a sheet of European 4 in 1, it's easy and the traditional sheet weave. Maille Artisans International League has a lot of information if you pursue that route. I'm glad you found this tutorial easy to follow :)
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.......
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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
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? :)
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.
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
Trying so hard.....I had it one.... right handed. Made a beautiful blue and black one. For the life of me I can't figure it out again and doing it left handed simply does not work for me :(
Jackie Gallagher Well I finally figured out how to do it right-handed, but it is a bit different. I've started working on that video, though it may be a few weeks before it's done, due to other obligations.
I had to relearn this weave again. Now that I have have it's not a problem for me being right handed at all. I just do it differently than the video. But it turned out the same :)
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!
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! :)
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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!
Trying so hard but my fingers won't go through the last ring without dropping the whole deal into a sad tangly puddle of rings. I want to make this so bad! Practicing... 😁
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!!
I gotta say, as someone struggling with the most complex part, the adding a new pair, the fact that this video opens with that when you don't know how to set it up, and then only spends like 5 seconds on it later on when you're actually trying to follow along, is super frustrating.
It makes sense in my head, but I cannot for the life of me get the rotate through 2 to work... or I can get the first one to start it , but holding the thing together for the second and getting it in place to stabilize it makes a mess... :( Maybe I need to practice with larger ID rings first...
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!
Question. Is this considered a 4-1 half Persian weave, or 3-1? I noticed other people use 4 closed rings on 1 open ring. You use 3 closed on 1. Is it just the pattern that makes it a 4-1 and not the number of rings and this simplifies it? Just wondering if this is the same or are there a few versions? Thanks for the video!
It is considered 4-1. You can find a picture of 3-1 on the M.A.I.L. website. I believe when you add your next two rings the open one that passes through previous rings makes it a true 4-1. To be honest I've only done half Persian 3-1 once or twice b/c I liked 4-1 better :p the M.A.I.L. site shows good pictures of other Persian variants too - they have a 6-1, for example.
Great Tutorial, except that it's for a leftie. It makes no sense for me trying to do it from left to right. I got it when I did this in class and now it's practically impossible to get it again. So frustrated right now. Anyway you are able to do this for a rightie?
If you start with 2 on the right and 1 on the left, mirroring the beginning steps, I think you can make it chain in the other direction…I’ll have to test it, sorry, I didn’t realize at first that this tutorial was left-handed. Thanks for letting me know ;)
It is true I don't mention AR in the video. However, if you look below the video, you'll see in the video info: "Ring sizes: from the M.A.I.L. website, they recommend using rings with an AR of no less than 4.7 for this weave..." I have found the Maille Artisans International League's website to be a great resource and reference for all things chainmaille, and when picking ring diameters. Happy weaving.
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.
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! 🖤⛓️
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.
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.
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
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..
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!!
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.
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!!!!
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.
This is very good. I forget how infuriating it is at first but once it gets going, it gets going.
Excellent video!
Great tutorial man realy easy now!
is this also known as the ormlänk pattern? trying to make it for a friend of mine
how would you add more rings to the sides to make it wider? thanks for making this the easiest tutorial I've found

Spent an hour last night making no progress on this pattern (from a book) - In 5:36 this afternoon, from your tutorial, I'VE GOT IT !!! thanks much.
I'm wondering if your technique can work to connect the chain to itself? in other words creating a chain that's one continuous loop. Thanks
It makes sense in my head, but I cannot for the life of me get the rotate through 2 to work... or I can get the first one to start it , but holding the thing together for the second and getting it in place to stabilize it makes a mess... :( Maybe I need to practice with larger ID rings first...
Thank you so much for this tutorial - I was finally able to work out this weave - have been wanting to get it for ages, and now I have :)

Very difficult with tighter fits. I want to do it with something like 20 ga AWG 4mm ID. Cant seem to get it started.

Is this project for left hand, how could people do it by right hand ?
I liked this , nice and clear. I don't suppose you could do one on an inverted aura?
Muchas gracias por compartir, al fin pude aprenderlo!
question
will this process work for the 4 in 1 variant of the same weave

why cant i figures it out so frustrating. it never sits like yours

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! 🖤⛓️
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.
Откуда берешь кольца цветные?
You are my HERO right now!
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.
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
Sir plz one video for Italian rop chain
I like the way you show it on the big rings
Where do you order your rings may i ask
Best of the best. Skipped the struggle, made progress and now my necklace is halfway done. Highly recommended!
nice tut thanks a lot, could you tell me diameter of rings and diameter of the wire you used for the rings.
This information is in the description of the video.
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..
FINALLY! I TRIED FOR DAYS AND I FINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLY GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, MATT!
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!!
Im still so lost and i feel so dumb
awesome... very helpful :)
thank you so much really helpfull
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.
Все бы такими кольцами учили бы ))
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!!!!
