Kumihimo - Takadai Braiding Stream - 70 - Katamen-kikko-gumi No 1

This braid is a 3-3 twill tortoise shell pattern. I'm going to be doing the setup tonight. The pattern can be found in at least two books I'm aware of.

The first book is Makiko Tada's "Comprehensive Treatise of Braids IV - Taka-Dai Braids II" Which can be found here: https://braidershand.com/comprehensive-treatise-of-braids-iv-taka-dai-braids-2/

Second book, is Rodrick Owen's "Making Kumihimo - Japanese Interlaced Braids."

This book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Kumihimo-Japanese-Interlaced-Braids/dp/1861083122

And here https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781861083128
