How to Plait the Egyptian Eye

This is a step by step guide to plaiting the Egyptian Eye pattern into your whip handles. It is by far my most requested handle design and is probably my favorite! As mentioned in the video, below are links to my pattern guide and a link to Ron Edwards How to Make Whips.

Don’t be afraid to unplait several strands of work to fix a mistake, you will be glad for it in the long run! -Constantly check your pattern guide!
