How to draw a basic Celtic braid with a vertical break

This tutorial uses the same basic braid pattern from a previous video and adds two vertical breaks to create a different knot style.

You are a great teacher! I am going to spend my days so much better with your technology. I spent days trying to figure these out by myself.

Do you make your own flowers? 🌹

I buy faux florals from places like Factory Direct Craft, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels and use them in my handcrafted floral designs and candle holders.

How many squares are in you grid?

[@DisStudioDesigns]

In this tutorial, my grid is 2 down and 9 across. But I encourage you to experiment just to see what works...and what does not!

I have tried this all day but I seem to have missed how to connect over the brakes. Still missing something. 🤔

When the thread goes over (or under) the break line it will hit the edge of the grid. You then turn and go to the diagonal (45 degree angle) for your new direction. Round out the corner to create a smooth thread. Hope that helps!
