Flat Plait, Slotted Plait, Indian Chief...

[TomG]

I am trying to do a flat braid, plait or whatever.  I really don't know the proper name for it.  I need some instructions or direction please. I've tried a bunch of different slot and connector length combinations, but just can't seem to get the proper combination to make it look right.

Thanks in advance

Google for Mystery Braid...

Nope.. It's not a Mystery Braid. I've heard it called a Slotted Plait, Slotted Braid and a few others.  But nothing shows up on any of those search phrases

From your referenced picture, as I understand it, its also refered to as ... Blood knot  

YouTube - UK saddlery,  has a tutorial - entitled dog leash,  and another called laced reigns as I recall. using this braid.

 Hope this might help in your search ?
