Video 8 strand round plait around a core

I have shown how to do the round plait with 8 strands in this tutorial:

What I wanted to do with this video is actually show you how plaiting around a core looks like. I used a dowel rod to plait around and I find it just about the right size for an 8 strand braid.

The color sequence when braiding is also important, because it will produce the color pattern. Keep that in mind when you are doing your plaiting!
