Eleven....The blacksmith has to add two links in order to repair the chain.
Or perhaps the blacksmith opened two joints and made one chain, with nine links.

It's actually four pieces of chain of three links.
Instead of opening up one link on each chain (four cuts) you sacrifice one set of three and use those link to make your chain of 12 links.
