If you are new to chain mailing and have never done it before, please read through Volume 1 - Introduction to Chainmail on the parts of rings, how to use them, the tools to use, and how to open and close rings. It also contains links to where you can purchase a wide variety of rings and tools.
Half Persian (HP) 4-in-1 is one of the most difficult jewelry chains to weave. Keep trying even if you think you're off, because you might have it right; you just can't see that you have it right. Half Persian 4-in-1 works well with relatively large ring sizes. 3/8"-14swg, 5/16"-16swg, 1/4"-18swg, and 3/16"-20swg all work well. Start with over sized rings (e.g. 1/2"-14swg), because there are some very tricky ring placements in this weave.

Pass an open ring (silver) through three closed rings (gold), and lay them out as shown. Be certain that the closed rings are lying as they are here; else you'll run into problems in the next step.
To simplify starting this weave it's often helpful to pin the rings in place on a pad of foam with straight pins.
