I needed a short bit of medieval braid for a project, so join me while I attempt to show how to make the specific pattern "A grene dorge of vi bowes", from the 1450-1475 document "Manuscript Harley 2320" (page f.70r) http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/Viewer.a...

Check out Fingerloop.org for great written instructions, documentation, and research!
