Learn Kumihimo, a Japanese Braiding Technique

[@gillmitchell5242]

I love this tutorial, adding the favourite beverage gets the 'thumbs up' from me x

If you divide the middle section into three sections and do a simple braid before the overhand knot it comes out much neater. Especially if you plan to use that loop as part of a closure.

Thank you for this tutorial. Came here because in one of the last material-donations we got at our workshop we found one of those braiding-disks and no one knew what it is used for. Did a reverse imagesearch and POOF : I ended up here😄 I have one question though: What is the best way to secure the loose ends of strands othjer then doing another fat knot?

[@JigokuHebi]

Ah I remember when doing that was popular as I was a kid. But we had plastic like threads and didn’t use any discs. But I remember this pattern! It was fun 🤩 but definitely harder without the disc. To remember what’s next and all😂

So cool!

[@stvnixrcks]

Yes, how do you finish it at the end??

[@pegsbarton6353]

Very interesting thank you for this. To make the narrower braid, would you use less threads or are they just finer and thinner, I can't think of the word that means a finer sized thread!! Doh! Hope you know what I mean.

[@AnnaK101]

Ok, this knowledge comes from watching the animated film "Your name". The grandma was making one with heaps of cords, but they had the little girl making one with just 4 pairs. So I think you could use less cords. Though working with smaller thread, such as embroidery thread, or a strand of wool will give you a thinner result. Also thinking about it, i think the smallest number you could do it with would be 2 pairs. If you are going to test it out, use cheap materials first in case it doesn't work out the way you like.

I’m literally doing this right now

[@sharongreenaway2049]

How do you finish it off so it does not unravell please?

[@lidu6363]

If it's a synthetic thread, you can just burn the end, it will melt together..

Knot the end in an overhand knot to finish it at the end. Pretty simple.

[@azminjayapostol9113]
