Learn my 10-loop, flat double braid method first, and then the video for the BORDERED version of the flat braid.
If you have questions, it's easier to contact me on my website than here on youtube, there seem to be problems with youtube/ google+ now -- I don't always get notified of comments on my videos through youtube anymore. Comments work fine on the website, under every post, or you can email me from the 'contact' tab in the top menu.
This video shows how to make the 10-loop flat braid, but now with 4 columns of different colors. This involves a new way to do the one turned loop transfer (outer right loop transfer, midde finger to right thumb).
The loop will be turned twice instead of just once, so the colors of the upper and lower shanks of the loop will end up staying the same. I first show a basic way to do this, then later in the video I show a faster way to do this double-turn.
I demo a two-color border, white on one edge, black on the other--not a great look on this particular braid! Just good for a demo, go ahead and pick better colors for your own braid. For the SAME color on both sides, make the left loops all one color, (no bicolor left loops). For a stripey or other pattern to the border, start with a MIX of colors for the left loops.
9-loop square and flat braids are prerequisite to my 10-loop double braid technique, see my other tutorials.
These videos are supplements to my website tutorial. Go to my site to find the full tutorial, including many more, from beginning to advanced level braids:
