HorsehairBraider Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 No not the Knot ...lol the braid LOL.......Tony Tony, I don't understand... are you asking for directions for an 8-strand braid? I never heard of one called a "button braid", although I know a couple of 8-strand braids. Do you have a photo of it? Maybe that will help someone figure out what you are talking about.

No worries, and thanks for the replies, I figured it out it was the thin and thick string version that was confusing me (easy done) now I saw it in all even strings it was easy to copy....I'll post a picture when I get to use it......thanks Tony Quote
HorsehairBraider Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 OK, great! I'll be curious to see photos of this. Glad you figured it out!
