Braids with braids for the whole family

To weave all sizes we follow the same step by step. To make it easier for you to follow the instructions we will differentiate the sizes by colors:

Newborns (32 cm in circumference and 15 cm in height): pink

From 3 to 6 months (36 cm in circumference and 17 cm in height) : green

From 6 months to 2 years (42 cm in circumference and 19 cm in height) : orange

Children (48 cm in circumference and 21 cm in height): turquoise

Teens (52 cm in circumference and 23 cm in height) : yellow

Adults (54 cm in circumference and 25 cm in height) : purple

Follow this step by step:

In step 1 : Mount the strings

Assemble the number of chains according to the size they weave:

Newborns : 48 chains

From 3 to 6 months : 56 strings

From 6 months to 2 years old : 64 strings

Children : 72 strings

Teens : 76 strings

Adults : 84 chains

Close the chain with a point slid so that a ring is formed

In Step 2 : Knit the Edge

For the edge we will use elastic point:
Row 1 (all sizes): rods in all chains

Row 2 (all sizes): * 1 rod, 1 rod taken from behind *

Row 3 (only in sizes for children , adolescents and adults ): * 1 rod, 1 rod taken from behind *

In Step 3 : Straight Knit

Row 1 (all sizes): * 2 puff points of 5 half-rods, 1 string * repeat from * to * leaving 3 non-knitting chains. Finish the row with 1 point slipped to the first puff point

Rows 2 to 7 (all sizes): 1 point slipped between the first 2 puff points of the previous row. * 2 puff points of 5 medium rods, 1 string *, repeat from * to * starting the next reason in the space between the two following puff points

Row 8 ( 6 months to 2 years ): repeat row 2

Rows 8 and 9 ( children ): repeat row 2

Rows 8 to 10 ( adolescents ): repeat row 2

Rows 8 to 11 ( adults ): repeat row 2

We will continue with the decrements:
