Ingrid Crickmore | Color linking, 13-loop flat braid @loopbraider | Uploaded February 2014 | Updated October 2024, 34 minutes ago.
Demo of my method for making a 13-loop braid. Advanced finger loop braiding. Start at 14:25 to skip explanations and go straight to the braiding moves. Click 'show more' below for a timeline and more info about this braid. Prerequisite basic-to-advanced loop braiding tutorials are on my website:

This particular 13-loop braid is the flat version of a square braid, done with extra "color-linking" moves in each loop transfer. For this particular color pattern, the fingers on the right hand do not do the same moves as those on the left hand.
(There's a little glitch in the video after I explain the moves on the first side, when I suddenly realized that my loops had actually been set up to start braiding on the other side! I didn't want to redo the whole walk-through explanation, so I left it in, but restarted the braiding at 4:13, after fixing the set-up.)
4:13 Restart after noticing my initial error.
5:58 Explaining left side moves.
6:45 Explaining right side moves.
12:03 Here I noticed another mistake, but this time did not pause the video, just unbraided the mistake as part of the video.
13:35 Continuing after undoing the mistake
14:25 Good time-point to see the braiding moves without much pausing and talking on my part.
16:39 Another way of setting partly-done loops down to finish later: tying groups together (this is a no-equipment alternative to using a wide-tooth comb and rubber band, as shown in my other videos)
