	* [[kumihimo]] - produces circular cross-section braids		* [[kumihimo]] - produces circular cross-section braids
	* [[lucet]] - produces square or couching braids		* [[lucet]] - produces square or couching braids
			* plain braiding (flat braiding, multielement braiding...) - same way as hair is plaited, but can use many more strands

			other techniques include:
			* [[fingerweaving]] - similar to plain braiding, but can create much more complex patterns. pplain braiding can probably be considered a subcategory of this.
			* knotting - at least one technique (other than lucet) uses creation of knots to make a braid.
