Trinity (Using European 4-1 as Stabilizer)
Submitted by Drax

Trinity is a weave that Lorenzo introduced to the mailling community many years ago. It has the usual properties of a persian sheet, in that it tends to curl, and it has a handedness. As with persian weaves, the initial building part of the weave can be a nightmare, and a small patch of the weave can easily morph into a mess. Lorenzo came out with the following tutorial as a way to start trinity from a patch of Euro 4-1 for initial stability. I (Drax) will get this submission transfered over to his name, and I will also be adding a tutorial that builds trinity from another direction.

Any ring size that will work for Euro 4-1 will work for trinity, and you can also use slightly smaller ring sizes, too.
