Four strand braid.
A symetric way to braid with four strands.

Arrange your strings like this. See your strings as two pairs. Take the left string of each pair and let it jump over the string on its right. Take the string just right from the middle and let it jump over the string on its left. From here on you just repeat, left string of each pair to the right.

And string right from the middle to the left. You can keep on going this way forever. You can also braid the other way round, to help you getting started I give you some pictures.

The other way round.

Take the right string of each pair and let it jump over the string on its left. Take the string just left from the middle and let it jump over the string on its right. From here on you just repeat, right string of each pair to the left. And string left from the middle to the right.
