Step 1
Wind each hank into 3 even balls (if you have a yarn or kitchen scale, this is the perfect time to use it)
-
Step 2
With 1 ball of each of the four colors, tie the ends in a knot and anchor them to a strong object (staircase, chair, doorknob, etc)
-
Step 3
Begin the four-stranded braid by dividing yarns in half - two strands on each side. Always bring the outermost strand to the center (for more help, watch this video: http://tinyurl.com/az5tfrb)
***NOTE*** Yarn will tangle easily. Get a friend to stand behind you and untangle as you go, or stop every few feet and untangle yourself
-
Step 4
Braid until end of yarn is reached
-
Step 5
Repeat for 2 additional braids - 3 braids total
-
Step 6
Connect ends of braids by winding extra yarn tightly around ends and trapping them together, using tapestry needle to tuck in ends
-
Step 7
Weave in any loose ends with tapestry needle
-
Step 8
Wrap around neck for desired look
