Members bergjes Posted May 25, 2010 Author Members Report Posted May 25, 2010 You can create patterns in braiding using digital work... Braid yourself a foot or so of each braid style you can Round braid chevron gaucho etc Then take a program like photoshop, Remove all the colour from each braid and create linked paths with each relevant part of the braid, for example, every fifth colour on left wil be the same colour, do this for all ten parts. Create a multitude of colours in each path and link them all. Then to create patterns just insert chosen colours and play around with it, I have done this with upto 10 strands so far, it takes a long time to create but it is a cheap way to experiment. One more tip, create ten strands loose on top to represent starting line up and link these to the paths further down the braid... Thanks. I don´t quit understand yet, but I will look into it. You say it´s a lot of work to create in photoshop, so is it to much to ask if you could send me an example of the 6 strand round braid, so I can try to figure out the rest for myself?

Members bergjes Posted May 25, 2010 Author Members Report Posted May 25, 2010 Gday Erik try this site, he has some downloads that will help you out http://www.deadringer.com.au/ the more strings you have the more you can design in your pattern , once you get used to making your pattern and then writing down the passes the hardest part is try-n to keep track on where you are up to , i get the Boss to help me with this !!!!! Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com Hi Bevan. Thanks, I found the website, but the only downloads I can find are 16 plait patterns. That is way to complicated for me. I just started braiding and I´m trying to figure out how patterns work. I think I have to start with 6, 8 strands and perhaps later move on to more strands. Thanks anyway. Erik Quote

Erik Gdy mate , i am glad you found the site , i know they are in 16 plait !!!! but if you look at the rule its all the same !!!! 8 one side 8 the other ,, that is 16 plait ,, if you draw the squares and have 4 each side then you have 8 plait ,,, 6 each side you will have a 12 plait , but if you draw it up and colour the squares how you want them you should be ably to make what ever pattern you want , !!!!!if you want to have a go at a 12 plait i have send you a very nice pattern ,,, but it is only two more than what ya want mate ,,, you can do it !!!PM me if you need the passes Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com diamond pattern.pdf diamond pattern.pdf Edited May 25, 2010 by Bevan Quote
