How to Tie a Four Strand Round Braid by TIAT ("The Easy Way")

The web shows a variety of ways to make a four strand round braid. In short, I found all of them utterly confusing. So I studied the tie and came up with the following. Sigh of relief...this method is a whole lot easier! Video Production by JD of Tying It All Together

How do you tie the finshing knot?

[camo03]

Which knot did you use to finish the braid?

[xxkid123]

Nice job on the tutorial. As a person who uses this braid a lot, I highly recommend tying/pegging down one end onto a wall. Although with paracord it comes out nice and even, with thinner twine the braid will twist and kink if it isn't secured.

Is this the same as the 4 strand Diamond Weave? Just curious, this is much easier if it is. If it isn't can u make a video on how to do 4 strand Diamond weave. Thanks TIAT..

This technique really is nice! much easier than all that left outter around and over...blah blah blah...can you do a video on a pinapple knot made over top of one of these? Love all your videos JD, great stuff!

what are some fusion knots/ braids you can show (or have shown) that can be turned into a necklace? i turned the zipper sinnet into a necklace but i have found many paracord necklaces.

Only recently started knotting - mostly with 550 paracord. I was given a link to this video tutorial which led me to JD's book. It came just now. It is a wonderful book on knotting and I highly recommend it (but I was disappointed that this 4-strand round braid was not included). With different color strands, it is easy to see how this braid is done; however I would NOT recommend anyone trying it with only one color until they master it (DAMHIKT).

Thanks! I've been using 550 cord with this to make some nice necklaces.

I did this with 108" of each color, and it produced 48" of braided line. Great video.

[my7pointmonster]

Any chance you have a ratio of how much paracord will produce how much braid?

great video also.

This is fantastic. JD, your visual problem solving is fantastic. I love your book, your videos, and your site.
