Extra info:

The “Braids” you’re going to make look more complicated than they are. The loops that you’ll make are easy to ‘braid’. You’ll simply pull them through each other using a crochet hook or your fingers.

The stitches in this pattern are all basic; just chain stitches and single – and double crochet stitches.

The Braid Plaid makes a perfect lapghan. You’ll use quite some yarn so the plaid will be pleasantly heavy.

To make it more colourful, you could make rows 2 and 3 in one colour and rows 4 and 5 in a different one.
