Crystal, for your scale mail dress, did you use a European 4-in-1 and then just stick the scales on the outside ( Read more... )

The weave you linked is the pattern I used. It still works in a way as a 4-in-1 but with the scales as the links. I then built out following that weave basically.

I looked through the site and didn't see the coif tutorial they used to have picts of up. But there are some picts in the scale inspiration gallery that might give you an idea of the inside and outside of what the bag would look like/ how it would work.

Don't forget the split ring pliars! Any help you need, just ask.

I started by putting two split rings on each scale. I got a bag of those going (all one scale with 2 rings) before I started the weave, then I would build for a while and as I ran out I would stop and then spend time putting rings on scales again. So I always had a bag of scales going (Each with two rings on them) and then my piece.
