I’ve been doing a bunch of 16-strand braiding these days. All of my donated medallion cords for a few years have been 16-strand braids because I started getting a little bored of 8-strand all the time. It always bothered me that while most of the 16-strand braids in Jacqui Carey<\/a>‘s Creative Kumihimo<\/a><\/strong> are expansions of some of the 8-strand braids in the same book, there was no doubling of the “8J” Yatsu Sen<\/em> \/ Yatsu Rai<\/a><\/em> pattern. “No problem,” thought I, “we can figure this out.” Hence:<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I haven’t seen this in any books or anything, so as far as I know I made it up. It wasn’t that hard to figure out, though, so I would not be surprised if somebody else provides this pattern somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started making these printable “index card patterns” more than ten years ago. They are a pretty good reference, but only if you already know how to braid on the marudai<\/em>. This is the first new one I’ve made in a while. I think the last one I made was this “Double Maru Yotsu<\/em><\/a>” card in 2012. Feel free to copy these or print them out for your personal use, just don’t use them for any commercial purpose without asking my permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have fun! I’m working my first try at this braid right now, and it’s pretty challenging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
