...um, but this is how I do the chain gimp, by moving the two centre
threads to the outside.
Either way, you do get the chain effect.
I like to have two colours and arrange them so that the two inside
threads are one colour to start, then I get the chevron effect.
Also you can twist on each row (or pass) if you wish, if the gimp is
not too thick; on the alternate row if the gimp is thick; the
appearance of each is slightly different. If the gimp is thin, you can
put two twists.
Lots of options :)
