Got this to help my 10 year old who wanted to make his own chain maille shirt. The guide on sizes and materials was SO helpful to get me oriented so that I could order him the right stuff. Then my son read the rest himself and taught himself from this guide! Must be good if he’s able to work it out on his own.
