I decided to mess around with a bunch of metal rings today and ended up making this chainmail-esque thing. So I downloaded the internet and looked up chainmail patterns, but nothing of the sort came up. Can somebody help me identify this?

>hey has anyone wound wire around chainlinks to make armor?
Yes. Everyone, literally. Arguably one of the weakest forms of chainlink.
