Begin kumihimo with 4 strands
Pattern with 4 strands
This is an easy pattern just to get used to the schemes we use for explaining the different patterns for Kumihimo.
Look at the scheme's to see how to braid the strands, look at the arrows and to the spot they point too.
Too explain how the scheme's works, we made step by step photo's, so it is clear what u have to do.
Make a big knot in the 4 strands and put them on the disc like photo 1, look at the scheme's how to braid the pattern.
Repeat the scheme's 1 and 2 till the cord get the size you wanted.
