The Latvian braid in hand knitting is a technique that introduces texture and colour.

Braids may be used in any project e.g., hats, mittens, shawls, throws, pillows and garments. They may be used alone or multiple braids may be stacked together for a unique look. They may be in contrasting colours or they may be in the main colour of the knitting.

The possibilities for using Latvian braids in any knitting project are great.
