Round Braid To Flat And Back, Adding Strands

[leatheroo]

I would start with 6 strands and do the 4 round braid using 2 of the strands as a core, then when you need to do the flat braid you will have 6 strands to make a wider flat braid.

I understand the idea - but anything involving 6 strands is going to be too thick for the round braid. And I probably need 8 strands for the flat part, but I will experiment.

Of course, I don't have the check yet for the project - so we'll see if it actually occurs.
