Ingrid Crickmore | 3-loop Bicolor loop braid @loopbraider | Uploaded October 2011 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Shows how to make a particular color pattern in a 3-loop square braid, using bicolor loops (or departed bowes, in the medieval terminology).
Click on Loopbraider, above, to see all my videos.
This will be a braid with 2 lengthwise black stripes, one wider than the other, and 2 columns of red and yellow diagonal dots or slashes.

This video also demonstrates how the color pattern changes when you switch to braiding a divided braid (for making a loop or a forked end to the braid), and shows how to rearrange the loops on your fingers to get a different pattern, or to return to a previous pattern.

All my tutorials are listed here on my braiding website:

I have a lot of tutorials and info on loop braiding, including info on how to make other color patterns, longer braids---up to several yards/ meters in length; how to braid with up to 11 loops; how to start braids with no loose ends at the top, and more.
