Original Design by Barry Woodham a.k.a. Sydney075

Step One:
Make a strand of Full Persian 6-1 with 6 complete units. Add 2 rings on the end as if starting a 7th unit, and then 1 ring onto those 2. This should take a total of 27 rings.

Step Two:
Now, counting from the bottom (the side without the extra rings), find the 4th unit and add a ring on each side (see picture), do the same on the 5th unit from the bottom.

Step Three:
Now, add 2 rings to each side, hooked through the 2 rings added in the last step. The left side of the picture shows these rings just after being put on, the righthand side shows them fliped back towards the center as you will do in the next step.

Step Four:
Now, flip the 2 rings from the last step back towards the center as seen on the right of the above picture. Add two rings on each side, running through the two rings from last step, in between the rings from step two.

Step Five:
Last step! Your goign to add two more rings on each side. They will each go through the two rings from last step, and the two rings from step two. They fit in an identical manner to weaving a strand of full persian, and it is best explained by the picture. I recomend placing them through the rings from step 2 first, because it is a tight squeeze and sometimes you can't get them in if you put them in the rings from step 4 first. And thats it!
