Ingrid Crickmore | 17th C. Bucks Horns fingerloop braid, solo braider workaround method @loopbraider | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.

This video teaches my solo-braider workaround method for braiding this two-person braid on one pair of hands. Except for the loop-exchange move at the end of every row, the method is the same as my method for braiding the 10-loop solid-rectangle double braid as a solo braider: youtu.be/Nd6ZdX3ejEI . The Bucks Horns braid requires a different loop exchange from the 'normal' loop exchange of double braids. This "unorthodox" loop exchange is the main focus of this video.
The 10-loop Bucks Horns braid was described very unclearly in some 17th C. English loop braiding manuscripts. The traditional 2-braider method was eventually deciphered and reconstructed by Noemi Speiser and Joy Boutrup around the turn of this century.
If the other braiding moves are unclear, see my earlier website tutorial on double braids, which includes videos for 6, 8, and 10-loop double braids made with the 'normal' loop exchange. loopbraider.com/2012/12/25/double-braid-tutorials
The videos in that tutorial show the braiding moves in more detail.
