Picture Tutorial for Interlocking SCMRs

***Please forgive me if this isn't good.  I have never taught by pictures before.  :)

First, I would prefer to use one thread instead of 2 connected, but I think it is better for teaching some things.  Sorry about the extra brightness in this picture.

 I have my pinkie wrapped to make my chains, and then I take my shuttle thread and make a loop around my ring finger which will be used to close the SCMR.

I make my chain(this is 20 double stitches).

 Then, I put the shuttle through the loop which was on the ring finger.

And I draw that shuttle thread through the loop, doing my best to hold each end of the "chain" and keeping it's shape nice,

 until it resembles a ring.

Next, I start another "chain" leaving a small bit of the thread(purple here).  Don't forget to have your closing loop(I have to constantly restart because I forget).

 Here it is just before interlocking.

Take your loop for your scmr and the beginning of your "chain" and bring them to the back of the first ring and carefully pull them through the center of the ring.

 Straighten out your look and your chain.

 Bring shuttle through loop to make SCMR.

 And carefully close SCMR.  Now you have 2 interlocked SCMRs.

A little clearer picture here.

 Continue making the SCMRs till you have the number you need until just before the last one.
This is my 3rd one.

 Closing the 3rd SCMR.

 Here are 3 interlocked SCMRs.

This picture shows 4 done and the fifth one being added(which is the last SCMR for this motif).
I have tatted the "chain" and brought the loop and end of the "chain" through the center of the 4th SCMR(ring).

 Next, I bring that same loop around the back of the first SCMR(ring), and then out through the center to the front of it.

 I then put my shuttle through the loop and carefully close that last SCMR(ring).

I then cut the threads and use a crochet hook to pull them through to the back side(try to the "purple" one back through the ring, and the "white"one through the center of the motif).

Then tie.












I made this one with 5 interlocking SCMRs today for this tutorial.

Here is the 6 interlocking SCMR I made last night, and the 5 interlocking SCMR I made this morning for this tutorial.
I sure hope this helps those who are interested.
One thing I must say, this really isn't too hard nor does it take too long.  :)
