How to knit a Latvian braid

In this DROPS video we show how to knit a Latvian braid. We have already knitted 1 latvian braid in the video. You knit a Latvian braid as follows: Braid consists of 3 rounds , worked as follows (color 1 = green, color 2 = old pink ): ROUND 1: * K 1 with color 1, K 1 with color 2 *, repeat from *-* the entire round. ROUND 2: Place both strands in the front of piece (towards you). Then move color 1 strand to the back, P 1 and move the strand to the front again. Pull color 2 strand underneath color 1 strand and then move color 2 to the back, P 1 and move the strand to the front again. Continue like this with P alternately with color 1 and color 2 but always place the strand underneath the strand from the last st worked. ROUND 3: Work as 2nd round but now place strand always OVER strand from the last st worked. This video has NO SOUND - you must read the pattern to be able to follow this video properly.
