Lesson 26: Rick Rack Braid

This braid is done with the same basic technique as a regular braid, but to begin you pick three strands, two of equal thickness and one thin.  This picture doesn't show it as well as it should, but the two right strands are equal and the left strand is thin.

Braid down to the end.

Next hold the thin strand tight and slide the other two strands up along it.

Push some of the "bumps" up higher to even them out.  Slide them up as high as it will go or just as high as you want.  Then secure it all with a hair band.
