Three-Strand Braids

Lay the 3 strands side by side. Starting in the center, fold the left strand over the center one (1 over 2) (a).

Now fold the right strand over the center (3 over 2) (b).

Repeat the sequence (1 over 2, 3 over 2) (c).

When you reach the end of the strands, turn the braid over (d).

Braid the other half (e).

If desired, a smaller three-strand braid can be placed on top (f).
