Same pattern, new material.
This sling is made of hemp with a seven strand taperred braid.
If you're using my tutorial at
http://itanohu.blogspot.com, it's the same basic concept.
I took five cords, each cord had three strands plaited together. I broke down each of the cords and braided it as you see here.
With all of the untwisting and retwisting of the strands that make up this cord the finished braid took on some unusual twists but they were easily worked out and the sling works great.
