Step 3: Braid 3 - Split Square Braid
For Braid number 3, we are going to make a square braid, but I'll change a step part of the way through and make it split into two separate braids. I'll do that pattern for a while, then switch back to square braid.
We start with the same pattern as the previous braid - the square braid.
2 Loops on the left hand - LMiddle and LRing.
3 Loops on the right hand - RIndex, RMiddle and RRing.
Move your LIndex and LThumb through BOTH the LMiddle and the LRing loops. Just like you did on the first braid. Then take RRing Reversed.
Walk the bows on the Right from RIndex and RMiddle, to RMiddle and RRing.
Now we do the same pattern.
Move your RIndex and RThumb through BOTH the RMiddle and the RRing loops.Then take LRing Reversed.
Now - do several rounds of the square braid pattern and then change it like this:
Move your LIndex and LThumb through BOTH the LMiddle and the LRing loops. Then take RRing UNReversed.
Walk the bows on the Right from RIndex and RMiddle, to RMiddle and RRing.
Move your RIndex and RThumb through BOTH the RMiddle and the RRing loops.Then take LRing UNReversed.
Do that for several rounds, then switch back to the square braid and repeat that to the end.
We end up with what looks like a normal square braid, but half way through it splits into two separate braids, then comes back together into a square braid. Look at the video and photos to understand.
Here is the new close up video. It is a close shot of my hands with good lighting. It is very easy to follow. The second video is the original full view.
