1. Take 2 straws from the middle part of the stalk of equal length and diameter. Fold one straw through another, as it did for the stumble area (figure 5.14 a).
2. Working from a straw 2 fold itself around the straw 4. The crest line is on the outside of the straw 4. Lay it parallel Solomin 3 (figure 5.14 b).
In the future, the straw will work alternately 1 and 4, the guide can remain of the straw 2 and 3. Netting keep themselves relatively in the position shown in figure 5.14 b.

After weaving ends Solomin tie.
Braid has a beautiful texture, it can bend in the plane of the netting. Used as an element of decoration.
A simple network (one-sided, photo 57).
1. Take 2 straws from the middle part of the stalk of equal length and diameter. Fold one straw through another, as it did for the stumble area (figure 5.15 a).
2-3. Remember how you braided area of the 4 straws and repeat all the steps and refer to figures 5.15 b, V.
After the stumble of the area to commence plaiting. Workers will be extreme straw alternately with the right and left sides.

To continue braiding, repeat all the steps 4-8. Workers of the straw are from the outside of the netting, taking alternately the right and left extreme position. Inflection workers Solomin is conducted in different directions: right — on my own, left to themselves. Bend the working straw form at braids smooth edge. To weave more dense, slightly pull it over the loose ends of straws, throwing them in different directions from the center.
If, instead of the excesses of workers Solomin apply them curves (figure 5.1 d), the braid will be wavy with textured edge.
After vpleteny braids to the required length of the straw all tie together. The way of extending this Solomin braids will be discussed in the appropriate section. Braid laminate. Short twist spontaneously bent in a spiral (this property can be used in the manufacture of decorative elements).
Braided line can be used to create a variety of products.

To continue braiding, repeat steps 5-8.
Note. The numbering of straws will be the same after proplyene two pairs of teeth, so if you continue plaiting, follow the appropriate location Solomin relative to each other.
Braid has a very beautiful scalloped edge. Each kink is formed by the successive braiding 2 working Solomin, who are on one side of the netting. Braid has a different texture weave on the front side and purl, very plastic like most flat braids and can be bent in a wet condition in different planes, fixed form is retained after drying the braids.
Due to its decorative and technological qualities of the "catfish" has been very widespread among the masters. It is used for sewing hats, and decorative hats, and various utilitarian items, straw decor sculpture, it is included in the composition of toys. In products it blends perfectly with other weaves and decorative elements.

This network was developed in the early 1980-ies Lydia glowacki she used the master in the author's works when making sculptures, in the manufacture of decorative straw flowers. Feature braids are round shape prongs with holes in the middle, that create a light fishnet pattern.

In all of the above braided straw workers have taken the extreme position from the outside of the netting.
Next, we consider three kinds of weaving, in which the workers are inside of the straw weave. To perform these nettings is better to choose thin or split into narrow ribbon strips. To start weaving, you can stumble to the corner of the four Solomin (in the schemes you are considering this option) or tying four of the straw into a flat beam. If you tie the straw in a bundle, you need to consider the decoration tied the ends: they can fluff up, put on their bead a tube or straw, wrap the thread or ribbon straw.
