I dont understand this, who can help:
I brought all six strings together and braided a six-plait, four seam pattern....that is take the outer string from the right....behind all the strings and then under one string and then over two. Then the outer string on the left is brought behind all the strings and under one and over two. Repeat until the whole thing forms a braid. Tug the strings after each pass to tighten and then terminate with a crown and wall knot.

If the router right one goes under all others, how can it then go under one string?
Found her, I cant understand how it works:

the red string is the first one, the green the second.

you just repeat the sequence with which ever string is at the end... it looks a bit of mess to begin with then it gets better :)

hope that helps, if you are confused, let me know :)

Excellent, I will try it tonoght.
may I be so bold and ask whether you are as good informed about the finishing of the braid:
"and then terminate with a crown and wall knot"
