turk's head

This is a 4 strand, hemp turk's head. with the light, sometimes it is hard to see all four strands, but essentially how it works is you start with enough material to wrap around your wrist three times with each tail reaching from sternum height to the ground. you start braiding the three loops on your arm pulling through one of the tails. the fewer bites you have in the loop around your wrist, the more strands you'll be able to weave through, and the wider your finished turk's head will be. hemp turks head
