When you put your working strand (red) between the 2 black strands, you will have the working strand twisting. in this way you will always see the good side faces out on Both Sides.

you're very Kind

kwad, you're right!!!
I think that sooner or later I will order one of these baby from Dusty.

well unfortunately I could not see the photo,

but the important thing is to learn how to braid

giovanniceleste

Hi Risu, in that photo I see that there are three individual bracelets joined together like links in a chain. What I can explain it is how to braid each bracelet. Sorry about the inelegant aspect of this scheme, but I think it will work anyway. The bracelet is made from a single strand. I have mar...
