The Trilobite Bar is a great way to make a band for a watch,
a bracelet, or a thick strap for a gun or bag.

Although the bar can just as easily be tied with one color (as
shown in my Trilobite Knot video), I show how to tie a two
color version of the tie here.

round braid. In short, I found all of them utterly confusing.

So I studied the tie and came up with the following. Sigh of
relief...this method is a whole lot easier!

Weave.

In short, tucking the working ends back through the middle
of the weave (in a special way) creates an expandable and
retractable bar.
