The Braided Twist tool is backed with a book full of twists and turns.
Each runner is made with the same basic technique but there's more!
Learn the Basics, then add details .
Once you have the basics down take it further...
For the 45 twist you'll want a Squedge 45 (or any other 45 degree tool works!)
Try twisting a basic and 45 together. Make it reversible. Make it longer or shorter.
All the yardage is figured out for you in the book!
