This article demonstrates how to construct the European 10 in 1 weave. If you already know the European 4 in 1 and 6 in 1 and/or 8 in 1 weaves, then you already know this weave and probably don't need this tutorial. 10 in 1 is very dense weave which can be used for chainmail sculpture and basketry.
The rings used in this demonstration are those of 5/16" ID, .048" stainless steel wire (alloy 304, 1/4 hard). These rings bear an ideal aspect ratio of approximately 6.5. The actual ID of the rings is .355", making their actual aspect ratio 7.4. Attempting this weave using rings with a smaller actual aspect ratio may prove difficult, if not impossible.
I have also made this weave out of 7/16" ID, .063" 304 stainless steel (IAR: 6.9, AID: .494", AAR: 7.8). The weave is slightly more loose, and easier to knit using this ring size.
Add 10 closed rings to one open ring, then close.
Add one open ring to eight of the rings in the previous step and add two closed rings, then close.
Repeat step two for the next connection.
Once you have woven five open rings and 18 closed rings, the weave starts to take its shape.
Place one open ring through five adjacent rings in the previous row.
Add five closed rings to the open ring, then close.
Add one open ring to five rings in the previous row and add one closed ring, then close.
Repeat step seven for the next connection.
Add a few more open and closed rings and you have a small piece of European 10 in 1 weave.
I like to hold the weave up like this when I construct it to make it easier:
