Essentia Report post Posted January 27, 2009 I saw this in a photo on an Indy Forum recently on an old David Morgan whip as a wrist strap, so I went over to his site and he uses it as a hat band there, I guess whoever bought the whip originally was looking to make it unique so thats how it got to be the wrist loop... Anyway does anybody know the unders and overs to get this plait...any help would be much appreciated... Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony Tony, Without seeing the picture, I suspect you're talking about the crocodile ridge braid. You can find the instructions in Grant's encyclopedia starting on page 230.

Essentia Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Hedge, thanks for the reply I found a few tutorials for the crocodile plait you refer to in varrious string numbers and thats definately not it.... can't seem to find one for this anywhere unless it's not showing up because I don't know the correct name for it...

Tony I've been going through my references on the croc ridge braid. It sure looks like a variation of the crocodile ridge of 2 outer half-rounds (pg 237 of Grant). And if you look at pg 228 bottom left, taking into account the loose braiding and lack of beveling, I think you'll see the braid pattern you're looking for. Hedge I don't know if I'll get the time, soon, but I want to see what I can work up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you can follow the illustration. Grant's drawings leave something to be desired. But, with some perseverance, you should figure it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essentia Report post Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks to those that tried to help, I eventually found it in an old APWA journal in an article posted by the late great Ron Edwards...it was in a 17 plait but easy transfered into 11.... For anyone interested start in the normal way for a flat plait then after bringing six from each side through go into the ridge edge plait the moves are the same both sides... RtoL x 3 moves 1/3rd string down bring through the middle of the two above and twist 2/ top string under 2 over the first string and twist 3. o1 u1 o1 u1 o1 Repeat the opposite way...easy when you know how .......knowing how was the problem LOL.....
