Usage

The Single Rope Braid (or plait) is a decorative knot that can be used for creating items such as bracelets, keychains, or decorative lanyards. It involves weaving a single strand of rope into a braided pattern, creating a compact and visually appealing design. The Single Rope Braid is often used in macrame, paracord projects, and other rope-based crafts.

Structure

Despite being formed from a single strand, the structure is the same as a traditional three strand braid excepting the endpoints. The braid can be extended by starting with longer initial segments and repeating the braiding pattern, finally tucking the end strand through the bottom bight to finish the braid.
