Customizable Braiding Star

thingiverse

This is a nice tool for knitting braids. It is fully customizable (number of spikes, size, yarn thickness etc.) How to use (for the 8 spike star): * Take 7 strands of yarn, tie them together and fix them in the slots of the star. * Count 3 slots to the right of the empty slot and place the yarn which is there into the empty slot. * Repeat the last step with the new empty slot. Using a different number of spikes and a different slot count from the empty slot will result in a different pattern in the braid. Also published on github: https://github.com/ohitz/3d-models/
