1st of 3 videos for my recent website tutorial on switching between various patterns in a square braid: loopbraider.com/2017/10/03/pickup-2 - Here showing a way to start braids so the top will match the end of the braid. (continued in the 3rd video of that tutorial.) This way of starting a bit further down in the loop bundle is similar to starting at the CENTER of a loop bundle for making an extra-long braid. Here, I'm starting just a short way down from the top of the loop bundle, saving a few inches of unbraided loops at the top to finish last. Also shows how I start most bicolor loop braids - with an all-dark braided loop section before using pick-up patterning to braid my way into the main pattern for the rest of the braid.
