Update: I just posted the set-up instructions for the color-patterns of over 20 of the braid samples you can see in my sample book in this video, and in the photos of the tutorial on my website!

See my website for photos of more color patterns, and braiding tips for this 5-loop braid. I also teach a 5-loop and a 9-loop version. (More loops gives you more color-pattern possibilities, and a stronger braid).

Timeline:
00:01 Intro, showing the 2 color patterns I will be teaching for this braid
2:00 Demoing how to find the correct loop order if you've dropped the loops.
3:34 1st color-pattern ("Edge" - lengthwise striping) - Loop set-up
4:13 Explaining the braiding moves for Triangle braid, compared to square and D-shaped braids.
4:55 Beginning of braiding moves
6:04: Explaining Edge pattern, and how to trouble-shoot - recognize if you've made a mistake while braiding that pattern.
7:40 Second color-pattern ("One-Loop-Wrong," a contrast zigzag design over lengthwise stripes) - Loop set-up, and how to change into that pattern seamlessly FROM doing the Edge pattern.
6:30 Unbraiding this braid (to undo back to a mistake, for example)
9:30 Explaining the wedge-shaped structure of the braid, and how to tighten it to maintain that wedge-shape.
11:25 How to go back (seamlessly) to the Edge pattern from braiding One-Loop-Wrong - basic 'pick-up' technique
12:27 How to braid a "loop"/ buttonhole area into the braid
14:06 How to close/ tie off the loop area in a 7-loop braid.
14:50 Braiding 4 mini-braids as a way to finish off the bottom of the braid with a braided tassel - 2 braiding procedures makes 4 little braids. (I should have ended this braid sooner, so there would be more loop-length available for these mini-braids!)
16:45 Tying off and cutting apart the tassel of mini-braids at the bottom of the braid. Knot: "UP, around and down". Before tightening the 2nd knot, slide it OVER and to just below the first knot.
19:45 How to deal with a couple of loose ends at the top of a "no-ends" beginning to a braid.
20:14 Showing the finished braid - the two color-patterns, loop at the end, and braided tassel.
20:25 Showing the BACK of the braid - looks totally different from the front.
