Five strand braid.
The one-up one-down way to braid with five strands.

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

Next start counting on the right, left string of each pair to the right. You can keep on going this way forever. You can also braid the other way round, but it looks so much the same, you can work it out for yourself..
