Finger Loop Braiding Make and Take
We will learn to make a square braid. Recommended for children 10+ Younger children can learn but sometimes haven't yet developed the necessary dexterity or attention. Students will need: scissors - ruler/ measuring tape [no big deal if you don't have one] At least three yards of yarn in two colors each. Two skeins of embroidery floss is more than enough. Try to use string at least as thick as embroidery floss. Cotton pearle Gauge 3, fingering weight, or something that's 20WPI. Thicker is fine. Thinner and you'll never finish and you'll get frustrated. And a shoe on one of your feet. Pre- cut kits available for a $1-$3 donation.
