3 in 3 Chain Maille Bracelet



3 in 3 Chain Maille Bracelet 

The 3 in 3 chain maille pattern is one of the quickest, easiest chain maille patterns to master and it makes a substantial, attractive bracelet.  Try it as a dangle earring or a necklace to change things up!

Required Materials:
  • 6mm OD (Outer Diameter) 19 gauge open jump rings (145)
  • Flat or needle nose pliers (2)
  • Trigger clasp (1)

Open three jump rings and close another three jump rings.





Using one of the open jump rings, scoop up the three closed jump rings. Close the open jump ring.





Make a neighbor to the ring just added by adding a new open jump ring to the three closed rings you added to in the previous step. Close that ring.




Make another neighbor to those rings by adding another open jump ring through the same three closed rings. Close that ring.




Continue the chain by adding three open jump rings to three closed jump rings until the chain is the desired length.  Add your trigger clasp to complete the bracelet.
