Mar 18th, 2008 at 9:17pm
 
I just worked out how 4 different ways to braid 4+ strands, this would be good for whip making, cord making, etc........... if anyone's interested I'll post instructions.

Please post!

I braid with more than 4 strands in several different ways, but I am always interested in seeing more ways or explanations.
Yours might be new and can be just the thing needed.

you can just treat two strands as one with them side by side and do a regular three strand braid...

Sites like those are the reason I made my braiding pages:

Round, flat, 3 and more strings, and almost any way you are curious about can still be added.

oh yes, i forgot to say, round braid can be braided around an object, so, say ye had a stick, ye could braid the stuff around the stick so it was wrapped around it in a more secure than normal way.

In other words what is often called "coachwhipping"?
That can be quite nice! There are ways you can do that using strands of two colours and build up patterns and even letters, you know!  Smiley

You can even braid around a headset for an MP3 player  Wink

(PS, Lasse, is the headset still alive?)

You mean this one? http://www.pixbox.se/pic_show_id17426070.html
Yep, still alive and kickin“!
It“s the first one I made and belongs to my youngest son, who uses it on a more or less daily basis, and have done so for several years now.
