		+	==Rings==
		+	The total number of rings needed depends, obviously, on how long a rope you want to make. The main pattern consists of two different sizes of rings: "medium rings" which form the primary chain, and "large rings", which the primary chain wraps around.
		+
		+	Each pattern segment uses the follow:
		+
		+	* 22 medium rings
		+	* 2 large rings
		+
		+	Because this is a "fence post" pattern (each segment shares links with the previous segment), your first segment will need an additional 2 medium rings to complete the pattern. So a finished work which contains only 1 segment requires:
		+
		+	* 24 medium rings
		+	* 2 large rings
		+
		+	while a finished work which contains 2 segments requires:
		+
		+	* 46 medium rings
		+	* 4 large rings
		+
		+	and a finished work which contains 10 segments requires:
		+
		+	* 246 medium rings
		+	* 20 large rings
		+
		+	In order to finish your rope as a bracelet or necklace, you will also need a clasp, and a couple of smaller jump rings to attach on either end. The size of the jump rings will be dictated by your clasp (they will need to be a thin enough gauge to fit through the hole on your clasp).
		+
		+	==Tools==
		+	;Pliers
		+	: You will need two pairs of pliers in order to manipulate the rings. Jewelery pliers are best, but if you have to use hardware pliers, look for small needle nose pliers, without teeth: teeth may damage the finish on your rings.
		+
		+	; Felt Square
		+	: The rings we'll be working with are small; they bounce and roll like champs. Working on a felt surface can help keep rings from straying to far from your work space.
