Apparently I have taken it upon myself to knit another set of chainmail. This evening, I absolutely could not resist dropping this chunk (which at the moment is just about six inches across; this is just a subset of it) into my photo box. I find the proportion of rings at this wire gauge and diameter particularly pleasing for whatever reason.

If you were actually going for historic accuracy, or planned to use it for armor then you would weld the rings. Generally people don't weld them since it takes a lot of time and effort. They are just bent closed.
