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.

A couple notes if you try to tackle this handle design:

This is for a 16 plait handle, if you try to do it with 18 or 20 plait be sure to modify it.
-I start my layers of plaiting differently than a lot of whip makers, don’t be thrown off by this!
-Don’t worry, I will be making a video in the future with info on how I start new layers of plaiting.
-From my experience any time I tackle a new handle design it is really frustrating and I make a ton of mistakes. 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!
