  2. Scoubidou - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoubidou

    Also known as a box stitch, the square stitch is the most common knot used in making keychains. It uses two strands of gimp. The square stitch is made by taking the end and crossing opposite ends, then taking one of the other ends and going over the first string and going under the second string.

  3. Braid (hairstyle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid_(hairstyle)

    Knotless Braids: A variation of box braids, starting with natural hair and gradually adding extensions, reducing scalp tension.Knotless braids do not include the knots. Crochet braids : Extensions are crocheted into cornrowed natural hair, offering a variety of styling options.

  4. Box braids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_braids

    Box braids are a type of hair-braiding style that is predominantly popular among African people and the African diaspora. This type of hairstyle is a "protective style" (a style which can be worn for a long period of time to let natural hair grow and protect the ends of the hair) and is "boxy", consisting of square-shaped hair divisions.

  5. Alexander's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander's_theorem

    This is a typical element of the braid group, which is used in the mathematical field of knot theory. In mathematics Alexander's theorem states that every knot or link can be represented as a closed braid ; that is, a braid in which the corresponding ends of the strings are connected in pairs.

  6. Trefoil knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trefoil_knot

    In knot theory, the trefoil is the first nontrivial knot, and is the only knot with crossing number three. It is a prime knot, and is listed as 3 1 in the Alexander-Briggs notation. The Dowker notation for the trefoil is 4 6 2, and the Conway notation is [3]. The trefoil can be described as the (2,3)-torus knot.

  7. Brunnian link - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnian_link

    The standard braid is Brunnian: if one removes the black strand, the blue strand is always on top of the red strand, and they are thus not braided around each other; likewise for removing other strands. A Brunnian braid is a braid that becomes trivial upon removal of any one of its strings. Brunnian braids form a subgroup of the braid group.

  8. Knot theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_theory

    Topologists consider knots and other entanglements such as links and braids to be equivalent if the knot can be pushed about smoothly, without intersecting itself, to coincide with another knot. The idea of knot equivalence is to give a precise definition of when two knots should be considered the same even when positioned quite differently in ...

  9. Braid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braid

    In electrical and electronic cables, braid is a tubular sheath made of braided strands of metal placed around a central cable for shielding against electromagnetic interference. The braid is grounded while the central conductor(s) carries the signal. The braid may be used in addition to a foil jacket to increase shielding and durability.
