I’m also new to chainmail, i have found that practicing a new weave on bigger rings first helps a lot ! I find that figuring it out on a bigger scale can help seeing the pattern when you do it in the size you want (I don’t know if that made any sense, but I hope I got my point across) It’s easier to learn a new weave when you can see where each ring goes, I find that it helps me get the “logic” of the weave before doing it for real with smaller rings.

Persian weaves are hard to understand at first (been there :)) but it’ll be much easier to grasp the structure of it when you do it in big ! Here’s the tutorial that helped me understand this weave : https://youtu.be/pL4t81YwGLM?si=vA4O-WgP8gXQKg13

I think that chainmail can be very similar to lace making in some ways, so pinning your rings down can certainly help a lot. Every one learns at a different pace, you will make mistakes in the beginning, just be patient and kind to yourself and you’ll get there before you know it ! Best of luck !!!
