The Four-String Braid is similar to the Hair Braid except for the addition of an extra string. You can use this braid to make beautiful bracelets and belts. Remember, labeling your strings with letters will help you through the braiding process.
Begin by pulling string C over string B and under string A.
Next pull string B over string D.
Then pull string D over string A as shown in Fig. 2.
Pull string B under string A.
Now pull string C over string D and under string B.
Then pull string A under string C as shown in Fig. 4.
Next pull string D over string B and under string A as shown in Fig. 5.
Now pull string C under string D.
Next pull string B over string A and under string C.
Pull string D under string B.
Now pull string A over string C and under string D.
Next pull string B under string A.
Now pull string C over string D and under string B.
Can you see the pattern? The string on the right is pulled under the string closest to it. Then the string on the far left is pulled over one string and under one string, stopping in the middle.THE FOUR STRING BRAID
