Ingrid Crickmore | 8-loop FLAT double braid (with borders) @loopbraider | Uploaded February 2013 | Updated October 2024, 26 minutes ago.
Learn my 8-loop, flat double braid method first. This video shows how to make it with a one- or two-colored border on the edges of the braid. This involves a new way to do the loop-exchange (the second-to-last move, just before you tighten the loops).
I demo a two-color border, a white left edge, and a blue right edge. For blue on both sides, start with all-blue left hand loops, (no bicolor left loops). For a stripey or other pattern to the border, start with a MIX of blue and white left loops.
7-loop square and flat fingerloop braids are prerequisite to 8-loop double braids.
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:
