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.
Clickable timeline:
0:00 View of braid sample showing other possible patterns.
1:26 Braiding moves for the 2nd color pattern: no linking on left loops, only on right loops (to create a black border on the two edges of the flat braid). White and bicolor loops criss-cross to create a chevron pattern in the center of the braid.
4:15 Bicolor loops have already changed to "turquoise up/ orange down" and are now changing back to "orange up" because they are now being turned during the braiding procedure. In the first pattern where all the color groups were linked, only the white loops were turned.
4:55 All colors back in original starting position. Checking for mistakes and looking at pattern in braid.
The previous video in this series (part 1) introduces the technique of color linking on both the left and right side of a 7-loop braid.

The next video (part 3) demos another pattern shown in my sample braid, in which two types of loop-linking are used:
