Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel. If you’re new here, please hit subscribe - I post new tutorials every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! Today’s video is short and sweet - I’m going to show you how to create 3 strand and 4 strand braids.
3-Strand Braid
I decided to double up on my cord for the 3 strand braid so that I could show you how to create a 3-strand braid using an even number of cords (which I think is more common to use in macrame). I used 2 pieces of cord per section (3 sections total). Bring your 2 left cords overtop of the 2 middle cords, then bring your 2 right cords overtop of the two current 2 middle cords. Repeat this process.
4-Strand Braid
The 4-strand braid is a great technique to know for macrame as it uses an even number of cords. Cross your two middle cords (left cord in the back, right cord in the front). Bring your left cord in front of the middle cord on the left of your work then bring your right cord in front of the two current middle cords. Repeat this process.
If you are interested in creating 2 braids on the sides of your work then connecting them in the middle I would recommend connecting the 2 braids using a gathering knot. Click below for a tutorial on how to tie the gathering knot:
