Front
The back is identical to the front. Therefore I will not bother posting a picture of it.

Instructions for making this band:

Warp Layout:

Turning Sequence:
To start, ensure that your A and D are your topmost holes. Then run your first weft pass from left to right in the first natural shed. Now divide the cards into two packs, even and odd cards.

Turn the even cards forward.
Pass your weft from right to left and beat.
Turn the odd cards forward.
Pass your weft from left to right and beat.
Repeat.

You will notice a great build up in your twist after a time. There is no way to reverse this pattern. Either use a continuous warp, swivels, or unwind the twists manually. It's a pain in the butt, which is part of why I only made this pattern once. As well, the band weaves up narrower and much thicker than a normally woven band of this many cards. Therefore, it will work best as ropes, reins, belts and other strong, bulky objects. It makes poor trim, especially on fine fabrics as it ruins the drape, unless of course you work in ridiculously fine threads. Not something I've tried. Let me know if you do.
