Learn the braiding moves for this braid in my other videos:
5-loop version first: youtube.com/watch?v=mSS5yw4OWOM
7-loop version next: youtube.com/watch?v=4qGYp4Rnpns
This video teaches how to set up with this Chevrons and stripes color-pattern to braid a no-ends looped start and then the main part of the bracelet. Finishing with a fringe of mini-braids is shown in another video. The 3rd video shows how to use the loop to make an adjustable closure knot for the bracelet.
0:00 Intro, picture of finished bracelet decorating my teapot
0:10 Beginning of tutorial,
0:44 "Handshake loop start" explanation
3:05 Loop set-up for this bracelet, using 4 bicolor and 3 single-color loops.
3:32 description of the loops (make them LONGER than I say---35" would be safer)
6:40 Linking the left and right loops for the handshake start.
8:30 Putting a header cord thru the left and right loops
9:13 Setting up for braiding the left bunch of loops.
10:48 Making a 4-loop braid with the "Edge" pattern to form the left side of what will be the loop at the top of the bracelet.
13:45 Switching to braiding the right side of the header-loop (3-loop braid)
15:02 Starting the 3-loop braiding
16:00 Setting up the loops for starting the joined 7-loop braid with the chevrons over "Edge" striped pattern.
18:08 Start of braiding moves
18:54 Halfway through 1st pattern repeat is the time to "fussy-tighten" the joining of the loop onto the very beginning of the braid.
22:30 looking at the braided pattern, and pulling out the header cord..
I have a second, shorter video showing how to make some little mini-braids to finish off the bracelet, and a third short video showing how to make a sliding, adjustable knot out of the loop at the start of the braid. All these videos are part of my Loop Braiding blog tutorial on this bracelet:
