A Note On Reverse Chains:
A reverse chain is a chain that curves in the opposite direction of a “normal” chain. There are two simple ways to do this. The first is to use a reverse double stitch, as is used in a split ring. The second is to make a half knot, or Shoe Lace Trick, at the beginning and end of the chain, which switches the position of the shuttle and ball threads.
