Knitting
So...this part will be quite hard, but once you find it out how to do it, it's really easy! I swear!
I choose a pattern, that looks great and is easy for a beginner. But it's hard to describe it :D So try to look at the photos and catch it.
I'll add a GIF later!
Basically just choose two base rings and connect them with another four rings. Now comes the hard-to-understand part. Take the two side rings and try to put them through the "base rings". Now just connect another rings and continue.
Or you can design your very own pattern, just be creative and most of all - patient! ;)
note: I later found out, that this (or similar) pattern is often called Byzantine knit.
