A Single Rope Braid: Braiding (plaiting) several strands is often learned in childhood as a way of controlling long hair. This animation demonstrates how to make a Single Rope Braid using a single piece of rope. Methods: The animation shows the Single Rope Braid being tied with the rope’s end being threaded through the loop.

Form a loop and then lay the rope across it. Pass the end of the rope across the loop using an alternating over and under sequence. Follow the same path around again still using the over and under sequence. Tuck the end in and secure it.

Single braid rope: These types of ropes are made by braiding strands together (usually 8 or 10) into a tubular shape. The rope will be hollow in the middle. Double braid rope: This type of rope is actually made from two single braid ropes. One of the braided ropes goes inside, and the other is braided around the first.
