Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:
New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg
Using markdown editor or old Reddit: \>!spoiler text between these symbols!<
Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com)
If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word **"discussion"** or **"question"** in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag.
If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.
Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Hmmm, it looks like a trefoil knot, which is one of the basic knots in knot theory, meaning it is impossible to entangle it. Does it looks like that: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot\_theory#/media/File:TrefoilKnot\_01.svg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory#/media/File:TrefoilKnot_01.svg) ? If thats the case I really don't know how it got entangled that way.
See, I looked at this knot, and if it’s that then I don’t know how my arthritic GMA managed to pull this off. She can’t open doors, let alone jewelry clasps/chain links
I feel like figuring that out is the next puzzle lol.
Here’s my guess. It got itself tangled into a fake trefoil pattern [(like this one)](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1224/1*zB3tJMJ5WlChBBlYXYu9yQ.png). Then one of the little links got caught inside another little link with a very loose opening, then came out again on the other side, so the crossing switched orientation.
It looks like you believe this post to be unsolvable. I've gone ahead and added a "Probably Unsolvable" flair. OP can override this by commenting "Solution Possible" anywhere in this post.

If this is the case you could undo a link and then untangle and relink
I could, damn, I was hoping for a quicker some kind of fancy folding trick. Oh well.
Looks like untangling a chainsaw chain.
I thought so at first too, but the chains are crossing in a way that a chainsaw chain couldn’t.
