FOUR-STRAND
SINNET

First type

Four cords can be used to
produce an enormous number
of plats, all different from each
other. The type illustrated on
the right, for example,
produces a beautiful flat
braid, though as you will see
further on, square or round
cords can also be produced
with the same number of
strands.

Method
The basic principle is to
weave the strand on the right
throughout, as shown in
figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 which
illustrate a complete cycle of
the four strands. Figures 5 2
and 6 show the plat before
and after it is tightened.
