Rossette plaits

[Rachel1]

Hi everyone! I know there has been a thread on this in the not too distant past but I couldn't find it so I was wondering if anyone could help... by January I need to be an expert in doing rossette plaits.
I am going to begin practising this wkend when I plait up Eric and Lou for dressage on Sunday. If anyone could post a quick step by step guide and/ or if anyone has any piccies that would be great! I am fully armed with needle and thread!

Thanks

Start them of as normal 'ball' plaits,

then once have a plait, thread needle through botton of plait from top to bottom

then put thread though base of plait at mane and put UP to make ball - THEN with finger and thumb either side of mane squash BALL into rossette- hold tighley

Hold thread tighly and sew back through base of mane (NOT over as you'll get balls) and kept threading through to get a nice tight rossette

Thanks Kick On - I think I understand!

Lottie_Lover - thans they're v similar to that but they don't join up together, each plait is an individual rosette, thanks though!

also forgot to add do as few plaits as you think you can get away with. Width of the little metal mane combs, for size of plaits (also make sure mane is thin,short and at bit smeggie

)

Ah perfect thanks, that is a good tip about the width
