Members Jin w Posted May 9, 2010 Members Report Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) For the first time I tried to braid 6 strand round braid. I went one under two over and some reason front and back look different. What am I doing wrong.? Jin W. Edited May 9, 2010 by Jin w Quote
Members DSJackson Posted May 9, 2010 Members Report Posted May 9, 2010 Possibly posting a picture of the two sides might clarify. Quote

Members roo4u Posted May 10, 2010 Members Report Posted May 10, 2010 when you do the 6 you have to do the 2 sides differently...one side is under 1 over 2 and the other side is under 2 over 1 this produces a pattern that matches on 2 sides that is side 1 and 3 will match and 2 and 4 will match. otherwise you have to do the o1u1 pattern. hope this helps.

Members lilpep Posted May 10, 2010 Members Report Posted May 10, 2010 the pattern you came up with is a half round braid the other one that roo4u mentioned is more square with out a core but will be more "simmetrical" orlike he said you can do o1 u1 and go that way. Quote

I got it right this time and I'll post picture tomorrow. I was also wondering I read somewhere said you can do three different ways to do 6 strand round braiding. Do you know how? Thank you. Jin W.

Because its a split number of three either side ( 3 is not dividable by 2 ) you will need to do the opposite on the other sequence ie u1 o2 - 02 u1 or opposite to what the first sequence is !!!! John ps purchase a Ron Edwards book/ books which are easy to follow for variable sequences of Braiding Edited May 10, 2010 by Hollywood Quote The clock keeps ticking - tic toc .. tic toc

Members lilpep Posted May 11, 2010 Members Report Posted May 11, 2010 i would suggest a Tom hall book instead it cheaper but has great info it also has a great section on braids in "western tack tips" Quote
