cst,

Brian wrote an excellent article about the rectangular braid here.

From what I can tell, it looks like a trenza de doce. Which I think translates to 12 strand braid. I did not find a tutorial I could understand, however it seems like a two over one under one over round braid that goes rectangulated automagically. I made a bracelet earlier today using 1/8th" pro lace from tandy and I didn't do something right, it seems too spongy. I might try this again around a core. On the other hand I've never braided anything before, so more than likely I just need to work at it some more.

I should've checked for more replies before I responded. I'll have to go read that. Thanks

You're welcome. I'm sure Brian will help if needed when he's back.

Sorry it takes me a bit to get to all the places I visit and post at.

Essentially, this braid is just a round braid flattened out and rolled on the preferred surface of your choice. The sequence goes like so,

Under 2, Over 1, Under 1, Over 2 - will equal a 12 strand

You can even just do a regular 12 strand braid,

Under 2, Over 2, Under 2.

Hope this helps.
