HOW to make up the LINK LINKS

It is time now to introduce the LINK LINKS
LETS BEGIN
The pattern comes with 4 strips on the scal mat or
2 strips on the cds mat
what you do is cut the mat out twice so you have strips of
different colours

you take one strip of each of the colours
you will see that they have a tail on one end

hold one with the tail up and the other with the
no tail and thread the one with no tail through
from the front to the back on the first opening of
the one in other hand
(to thread through you have to turn the strip on its side)

Now you can see that when it is straightened it is in place

What you do now is thread the tail of that through
the slit

Like this

Now you have the first link done

now with the back strip turn it slightly
and thread it through the next slit of the front one
do this carefully so you don't tear it

keep threading it till you get the back one to be
complete in front

You now have done your second link

Now with the back strip you thread through to the front
on the next slit turning it slightly so as it will fit through
the slit

and you will start to see a pattern

Keeping bringing the back strip through
to the front through the next slits
knowing that the back one comes through the slit
you will know where you are up too at all times

it gets easier and easier as you get near the end

taking the last one through the last slit

until you send up with one slit in front
and a tail at the back

all you do now it bring that tail through
and it is ready

YOU have now made a LINK LINKS

YOU can adjust the links so as they are evenly spaced if that
is how you want it to look
(above picture is uneven and below picture i have evened them
it is up too you )

OH nearly forgot I guess you want the patterns
there are two styles SO FAR

Completely cool. And I loved how you dressed up a few with the white dots. And a big thank you for the detailed photos on how to weave them together.
