Twelve-strand Kumihimo braid with a triangular cross-section. Can be done with other numbers of strands, so long as one can divide them into three roughly equal groups.

A colour set-up of of Fay Halberstam's _Three By Three_ Kumihimo braid for three colours.

A reworking of Fay Halberstam's _Three By Three_ braid so that it only has six steps rather than twenty-one. The general pattern is for a counter-twist braid; that is, the odd-numbered steps are to move the warps clockwise, and the even-numbered steps are to move the warps anti-clockwise. This is six steps rather than two because of the odd number of warps.

Nine-strand Kumihimo braid with a triangular cross-section. Can be done with other numbers of strands, so long as one can divide them into three roughly equal groups.
