A lattice is a grid framework creating diamond- or square-like openings. In 16-element Kongō Gumi braiding, the lattice is created by the eight cords in the North-South and East-West quadrants. How the remaining eight cords are laid out the in the NE-SE and NW-SW quadrants determines the shape of the lattice. Using a foam braiding disk and satin cord, practice making a variety of lattice structures, from regular (symmetric) to irregular (asymmetric) shapes.

Kit cost: $20 (if you bring your own 6” round foam disk, Kit cost is $10)

Kit supplies for two keyrings: Includes 6” round foam braiding disk, 16 yards petite satin cord in four different colors, two keyrings, string for finishing tassel. Handout includes layouts for eight different lattice braids, braiding instructions, and finishing details.
