Gudrun P. – Notes from CNCH:

CNCH 2025 Kumihimo Workshop with Michael Hattori:
The Missing Link – Linked Structures on the Marudai

Mitake is a type of flat kumihimo braid. It can be made with 16, 24 or32 tama.

Regular Mitake braided in preparation for the workshop:
– 2 braids with 16 tama,  one patterns each.
– 1 braid with 32 tama with pattern variation.

Linked Mitake Silk Braid with 32 tama.
The linking technique gives you the possibility to braid many different patterns. In this picture you see “Center linked mitake”, “Side linked mitake”, “Bokashi Fade In/Out”, “Ito Take – Bamboo”. Fun, fun, fun and it is even better with more colors
