First close 15 small rings and open 1 X large ring

put the small rings in the X large ring and close it

This is complicated if you are new

open 30 medium rings 15 rings per row

#1   attach 1 medium ring on 2 of the small rings from the previous step

#2   attach another medium ring on one of the 2 rings from #1  and a new small ring

#3   continue until you use all 15 rings then you have row 2 done

#4   start row 3 the same way with the other 15 medium rings

add 15 large rings

just like rows 2 and 3
and your done with row 4

at the end I had a bunch of rings so I just attached a bunch to the sides

I also made a small Byzantine weave and a hook to make it look cool
