1:07 New way to make the turns in the 7-loop spanish fingerloop braid . Makes the braid turn out flatter/ straighter rather than slightly convex.
4:52 How to UNBRAID this braid.
9:47 How to follow Gary Mitchell's pattern-planner charts for setting up the loops to get a particular braid pattern.
17:50 How to make the lower side's pattern and the upper side's pattern switch places.
To learn the braiding moves, see my earlier video on the Spanish braid youtu.be/juWnBEed0Mo It demos each of the moves very slowly for practicing along.
More patterns, plus link to Gary's planner are in my blog post:
