Knitting Patterns :: Patterns :: solid color knit braid
Colored braid 
On the dial needles 16 sts.
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th rows of knit hosiery knitting yarn of one color. 5th row - bind a different color yarn and knit purl loops, alternating between a seamy loop of one color and a seamy loop of another color. In this case both strands is transferred to the front side and crisscross at the front side of the bottom-up on my own. 6th row - knit facial loops by placing one above the other loops of one color and crossing over the threads on the front side of the bottom-up itself (zaspitsey).
Pattern color braid serves as a connecting strip in the transitions from one color to another. Pigtail can be knit from two balls of wool of one color.
