Brian, thanks for sharing this. The braiders journals have really opened my eyes to what I've been missing. Thanks bud.

Is there a tutorial for this? I used to do a braid similiar to this when I was a kid, but I have no clue how I did it. I would love to do this for a project.

here's the only tutorial.

R= right

L= left

U= under

O= over

  1. L to R - U1, O2
  2. R to L - U2, O1
  3. L to R - O1, U2
  4. R to L - O2, U1

Now repeat steps 1 thru 4 till you reach the desired length. THIS MUST HAVE A CORE IN ORDER TO WORK PROPERLY.

Thanks Brian, I use this on occasion for the top loop of a 12 strand romal. Easiest way to get a round braid from six strands. Appreciate the share. Buck

Hey guys unless I'm mistaken, Leather Braiding by John (he's on here too) has this but it does not require a core if you use a semi stiff or a gentle, but firm technique. I tend to do 3mm lace when I do these, but have had success with 5mm too. I start the braid on a key ring like a standard 8 part herringbone & pretend there is an extra on each side until the first pass. Here's the link for LBBJ: http://www.lbbyj.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=2

Hi,

 

What is the braider's journal?  I do not see a web page by that name.  Is this a periodical?

 

Thanks!

The Braiders Journal is a pamphlet series on braiding and knot tying that at one time was distributed. Georg Schaake, Dr. John Turner, D.A. Segwick and a few others were involved in the development of the series.
