Multi Strand Finger Loop Braiding

Step 5Braid 5 - 2 Color Square Braid

Braid 5 - 2 Color Square Braid
This is the same pattern as the Square Braid, but with two colors

First Color - 2 Loops on the left hand - LMiddle and LRing.
2nd Color - 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.

Repeat to the end.

There are more patterns and braids coming - I've worn my fingers out for today though.

This is a newer video. It is only a close up on my hands with better lighting so you can see exactly what I'm doing with my fingers. The second video is dark, but you can see what this looks like from my hands to where the end is anchored.

You've done a marvelous job teraching these braids.  How would one go about making a two-color split square braid, and have it split into the two colors?  I think I will just experiment
