Step 2: A Four Strand Round Braid

We are starting with a four strand round braid. Find at first the middle of both strands and start the braiding. Stop braiding when you reached your desired length.

Step 3: A Four Strand Round Braid Loop

To make a loop use one end of the strands and pull it through the beginning end of a round braid. The diameter of the loop should be large enough for a hammer. Then position all the strands as shown in the picture. This will helps to build a good structure for the wall knot.
