Four strand round braid
This is a way to make a four strand, round braid, in one colour it is the way to get confused, so try with two or four different ones.
Place your blue and red string on your work surface, (pin them down, if you wish),
move the blue string as indicated,
till you get this,
next you work the red string, the other way round,
to get this.
Repeat both movements, till your braid is long enough.
Hold your braid at both ends and twist both ways to test whether you have done it right.
 
Back to start. one step backwards.
