so i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this…it would kindof be awesome to know…ive searched the internet for the past two days and ive found nothing…so please someone tell me if you know please please please
I have seen a few YUMMY hats made like this
it looks like a multi strand (bunch) braiding/weaving
its so pretty
and the softness of the yarn comes through Big time
The first thing I thought when I saw it was entrelac, but I like the theory that it’s woven. As ecb suggested, the “grain” in the basket-weave looks more like strands of yarn than knitting.
If I recall correctly, you take several strands of nylon (I found it at the hardware store), put an O or D ring in the middle, folded the strands in half, then just started weaving, in and out, from one side to the other. It has been years since I did it, so I’m not sure exactly how I did the weaving. But to finish it off, I heated up an old knife and seared the ends. This made them stick together and cut off the ragged ends.
Be Careful! when the nylon gets heated, it liquifies and can burn you badly.
That weaving/braiding technique reminds me of the friendship bracelets we used to make out of embroidery floss maaaaaany years ago when I was in elementary school.
I had thought at first it was the Japanese braiding (kumihimo), but that makes more of a square type cord.
