Crochet pattern for a Mochila bag

These are specially braided cords made from more than 3 strands, similar to a regular cord or a plait. By layering multiple colors in a specific order, beautiful patterns are created. And to prevent the strands from getting tangled, there are discs with slits on the outside where you can secure each strand. Similar to a knitting dolly, the finished cord then emerges from the hole in the center. The most well-known examples are probably these colorful friendship bracelets.
