Sprang technique

Threads are attached to a cord. The cord is fixed to a pillow with pins.

The left-most gap will start with 1 thread in it, all the others — with 2 threads, one atop another.

Schema shows the way of braiding, from left to right. (Next row will be braided from right to left.) The starting point every time is the gap with only one thread in it. The two threads in next gap are crossed (the upper thread returns atop) and the upper thread is placed one gap left (or right, depends on row count). And so on, until the last tread solely remains in last gap.

Sprang is not very rich in patterns, because two threads can be crossed only in two different ways — left or right. So the main elements in sprang patterns are triangles and diamonds (rhombi). But they can vary in sizes and directions, and combinations.
