When a simple plait of three, four ormore strands is continued in a flat or ascending coil to make a fabric. Eachround of the coiling is joined to the next by bringing in a new strand at thebeginning of each plaiting movement in the first round (and later at intervals toincrease the size), and letting it continue in the braid, while the strand whoseplace it is taking goes out at the end of the movement, and in the next round ispicked up as a new strand. The two adjoining rounds may be drawn close (7c,Fig. 16C), or an open space may be left between them (7d, Fig. 16D, E).
