When this move is combined with the "Inside-Through" move of my other Kute-Uchi video, some amazing braids can be made!
See my website tutorial for the beautiful Genji-Uchi braid:

Kute-Uchi part 2--the "Outside-Around" move. Kute-uchi is the ancient Japanese art of hand-held loop braiding. I am not an expert in this, and haven't done it for a long time! My main area of expertise is fingerloop braiding. Sorry for the bad lighting, had to do this in the evening. This video is for TRAFONATIONAL and anyone who is curious about Kute-uchi.
This "Outside-Around" move can make the same square, flat, or divided braid as the "Inside-Through" move.
Other braids can be made with combinations of these two moves.
See Masako Kinoshita's website for more on Kute-uchi braiding. She is the one who rediscovered it after it had been lost and forgotten for about 100 years.

I learned kute-uchi in a workshop from Makiko Tada, a master Japanese kumihimo braider, who learned it from Masako Kinoshita. Both these master braiders teach internationally, look for their workshops (or request them) from weaving and braiding guilds and conferences.
