Tips on this pattern: You may want t use the strategy masha knots talks about in her video on keeping edges straight, as this pattern ends to make them curve
Colors a and e are just extra, they never make knots so they don't need t be a pretty color or long, however they will still be in the braid a the end
Since there is only one of each color, this pattern won't make a loop, so I just knotted two of them together to create a loop Hope this helps! 🙂
