Seven-warp round Kumihimo braid. The movement pattern is: (a) over three clockwise, (b) pick the next clockwise warp, over two clockwise, (c) pick the previous (anti-clockwise warp, over three clockwise, (d) pick the next clockwise warp, over two clockwise. Repeat from (c).

This is a seven-strand Kumihimo braid pretending to be a six-strand braid. The warps are in six groups, but one group has two warps in it rather than one. This results in one side of the braid having stitches which are twice as long as the others.

Seven-strand Kumihimo braid; this is a 7-warp braid pretending to be an 8-warp hard-round braid. There are four groups of warps, but one group only has one warp in it rather than two. This results in one side of the braid having shorter stitches than the others.

Seven-warp braid. Not all the steps are shown, but the pattern is really only two steps: over two clockwise, skip one + over two clockwise. (Skip one means pick up the warp two over in a clockwise direction, rather than one over). This braid is actually easier to do on a kumihimo disk than on a marudai.

This tutorial shows you how to make a 7 strand kumihimo braid. This has an interesting structure compared to the usual 8-strand braid.
