Four Stranded, Fishtailed and Upside-Down French Milkmaids

I don’t know how to braid hair.

I know!
This after that boast post yesterday about what a capable father I am…

And we’re probably not far from the day when we’ll need to pull Daphne’s hair back.

It’s getting long as it is…

And I don’t have the first friggin’ clue of how to do this properly.

So I’m doing what I assume all neophathers do when faced with this kind of situation.

CONSULT THE GOOGLE!

The problem is, now I’m even more confused by all the various types and styles of braids.  3 and 4 strand, upside-down, milkmaid, fishDutch, etc, etc.

I don’t want to fall into the trap of thinking, “pshh, how hard can it be?” simply because I can tie a monkey’s fist or cockscomb a tiller.

That is, unless Daphne wants a bowline tied into her hair.

That I can totally do.
