In this class you learn to make a variation of the Cleopatra Chain Bracelet where the rings alternate direction and size…
If you are already familiar with the Cleopatra chain pattern, you will love how this variation of the same technique offers such a different look. With this project the size of the larger rings vary with the small rings highlighted on a top layer. It’s not any more difficult than the traditional Cleopatra chain maille pattern, it’s just a unique spin on it.

Materials needed: (yields 7.25” bracelet)

Note: When making a chain bracelet you typically add about 1” to your actual wrist measurement. Of course, this depends slightly on how tight or loose you like them to fit, but using this formula gives you a good estimate. If you need a longer bracelet than 7.25”, you will need to augment the kit with additional rings.
