8-loop Double Braid color patterns

Also tips on how to make yet another double braid shape than the flat, hollow and rectangular ones of my double braid tutorials—the side-slit double braid.
Set-up instructions for 11 color patterns for flat double braids, plus 1 solid double braid color pattern, 1 hollow, and 2 side-slit rectangle color patterns.

Braids 2012 and Braids 2016 Conference Proceedings books are shown below. Let me know if any links are broken - Braiders Hand (U.S.), and the Braid Society Braid Society (UK) occasionally change the urls for their products.

Includes my 12-page article on all the double braid variations. See table of contents here.

Includes my article on Pick-up Patterning in Loop Braiding

My article in Threads That Move is on the many variations of loop braided 'double braids,' including several not covered in this blog, with some practical how-to information.

My article in Braids, Bands and Beyond is on pick-up patterning in loop braiding, including historical references and photos. Not a 'how-to.'

Header photo braids:
The braids in my header photo are described here. Some are traditional, some are original, and some are a little of both. I have tutorials on this blog for four of them, as well as for many braids not shown in the header photo.
