    Viking knit (great instructions for this in "Great Wire Jewelry" by
    Irene From Peterson) is normally done in wire that is 24 gauge or
    lighter. I would recommend using fine silver rather than sterling
    because it allows for easier handling with less breakage, but
    sterling silver will also work (as will copper and other "craft"
    wires). It is a very basic wire weave and makes a flexible and
    beautiful chain.
