Loop or fingerloop braiding is a technique of making sturdy and decorative cords from threads. It is a type of braiding known as loop manipulation. The braid is made from loops of thread, attached at a central point, and the loops placed over the fingers and interlaced in different ways. Many cultures have historically developed a form of loop braiding; in Japan it is known as kute-uchi.Photos courtesy – By LauraTheLibrarian – Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=48494811
