Kumihimo Braid: Cord Bracelet

Keep your colors, your cut lengths, and your current move together while you make the common eight-strand round Kumihimo disk braid.

The disk on screen follows your braid. It tracks where every cord actually is, so the diagram always matches the disk in front of you — including the halfway position with three cords at the top, the one braiders use to hold their place by hand.

FOLLOW THE MOVES
• Each move names the cord by color: "move the Teal cord", not "the lower-left cord"
• See where the mark on your own disk should be pointing right now
• Lower-left up, upper-right down, then a quarter turn
• A checkpoint saves after every move; undo one, or reset
• The screen stays awake while your hands are busy

PLAN YOUR COLORS
• Choose from twelve named cord colors, or start from the Sunset, Tide or Checker presets
• See what your arrangement makes, and the order the cords lay into the braid
• Save separate projects and duplicate one to try another setup

CUT ONCE
• Work in inches or centimeters and switch without changing the stored plan
• Adjust the cord multiplier and the finishing allowance
• Get the cut length for each cord, and totals grouped by color

The same eight-strand disk braid is used for satin cord bracelets, paracord keychains and lanyards.

MADE FOR THE WORKBENCH
• Notes for cord, findings and tension
• iPhone and iPad
• No account, ads, analytics, tracking, or internet connection. Your projects never leave the device.

This app covers the common round eight-strand disk workflow. It is not a bead-pattern designer, a photo-realistic finished-braid preview, a marudai guide, or a universal Kumihimo pattern generator. It names the resulting pattern only for the color layouts with a documented result, and tells you to braid a sample for anything else.

Material use varies with cord, beads, tension, and structure. The estimate is a starting point, not a guarantee. Make a short sample and adjust the multiplier before cutting valuable material.
