Members roo4u Posted July 7, 2011 Members Report Posted July 7, 2011 and on the next pass you did ...left side under / over and right side over/under? when i look at your braid i dont see the alternating pattern that one usually gets with a patria...usually you get 'v's running sideways on the braid instead of the length of the braid like a traditional flat braid. just like the round guacho braid...the v's run the circumference instead of the length....i braided a few leashes using a combination of the two braids and they go perfect together because of that.

Members megabit Posted July 7, 2011 Members Report Posted July 7, 2011 and on the next pass you did ...left side under / over and right side over/under? That's what I was missing. I just played with a little paracord and that made it look much more like what Nate showed in Febuary. Quote
Members roo4u Posted July 7, 2011 Members Report Posted July 7, 2011 d'oh.....lol i was beginning to think it was me, that i was looking at it wrong or something. i do like the look of the flat braid you did...ill have to mess around with it and see if it will work for some stuff im working on.

Members megabit Posted July 8, 2011 Members Report Posted July 8, 2011 Ok, so is this one better. Trenza Patria 2 by ss1442, on Flickr Quote
Members roo4u Posted July 8, 2011 Members Report Posted July 8, 2011 yes....see how you get the double thickness on the edge? you can mess around with the actual braiding pattern as long as you alternate the o/u u/o on each side. this is how this braid can be used for so much strap work in horse gear...the edge is much firmer and the braid less likely to roll up because of it (IMHO) Quote TRACY MONSTER FARM SPECIALTIES-custom tack for dog, horse and human
Members megabit Posted July 8, 2011 Members Report Posted July 8, 2011 Makes sense to me. And that edge is what I remember from the Nate workshop. Quote
Members want2braid Posted July 12, 2011 Members Report Posted July 12, 2011 Hey! I do the 12 plait Trenza Patria all the time now its a great braid! First of all it changes patterns and then changes sides. If you have 5 on the left and 7 on the right. You start out over 3 under 3, then the next strand under 3 over 2, then you will have 7 on the left and 5 on the right. On the left top string goes over 3 under 3, then the next strand goes under 3 over 2. You need to make sure and tighten by pulling out, not downward or at an angle as it tighens a couple inches above the braid! I would post pics but I have a broken camera. Will post later! I hope this clarifies! Quote
Members KnotHead Posted July 13, 2011 Members Report Posted July 13, 2011 Email me Hi every body The braid in the first post is an 13 plait braid, it´s diferent from the others show above. Here in Brazil we use to do that braid in mule tack. It´s not that dificult to made. First you make two groups of strings, one with 6 and other with 7. Begining in the side you let with 7 strings you must go over 3 and under 3, than you go to the other side that now have 7 strings and do the same thing. Now is the secret of this braid. At the side you started you now go under 3 and over 3 (at the first time you pass O3 and U3), and do the same at the oposit side. And then you go on changing every time you back to the side you started, one time O3 U3 and other U3 O3. I hope this can help you. Here is a picture from the book Trenzas Gauchas. I hope you're not referring to my braided necklace. It's not a 13 strand braid. It is a 12 strand braid. It's not the Trenza Patria. It is the Trenza De Doce. The sequence is a bit different than the Patria braid. There is no alternating sides. It is more along the lines of a round braid. U2, O1, U1, O2 - This same sequence is repeated on the other side. Instructions below. It will form up pretty much on its own, into the rectangular shape. B... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd

Members ahimsacowgirl Posted July 18, 2011 Author Members Report Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) whatdoes the back sode of this look like? I think this is what I did for these, but someone told me this is NOT the patria trenza yes....see how you get the double thickness on the edge? you can mess around with the actual braiding pattern as long as you alternate the o/u u/o on each side. this is how this braid can be used for so much strap work in horse gear...the edge is much firmer and the braid less likely to roll up because of it (IMHO) Edited July 18, 2011 by ahimsacowgirl Quote J.
