"Sling Braiding of the Andes" is advanced braiding. The basic design is for a 16-element braid with an 8-element loop, with extra strands added in for a woven pouch. There are also patterns for 4, 6, 12, and 32 element braids. There's "Braids: 250 Patterns from Japan, Peru and Beyond" (I think I got the wording right!) which has, well, 250 patterns of braids to work with, from just a few elements to more than I could keep track of, but nothing about pouches. These braids are generally complex and take a while to master. If all you want is a sling that works, the articles on this site are your best bet. They're much simpler, faster, easier, and give you a sling that works just as well as the fancier braids do, possibly even better. My personal favorite is the one with the green sling.
