Materials required:
6 strands of standard gimp. 3½ yds. each
1 strand of core braid, 1 yd. 30″
1 standard or French snap
Six-strand round braiding can also be used for leashes. It is made in
much the same way, except that the top strand is brought around the
back, then forward below the first strand, over the second strand, and
under the third strand. (Fig. 39.) When in doubt about the order of the
strands, remember to weave the top strand so that it passes over the
_front_ strand on the opposite side. You can see this clearly in figure
39.

When making the square braiding, lay an opposite pair of strands along
the core and weave the remaining four as described above. The strands on
the core may be clipped with the others after making the lock knot.
