Step-by-step sequence for making a three-strand braid

To make a three strand braid we start with the picture on the upper left. The blue strand is then moved from the right to the center, bringing us to the second picture. Then the black strand is moved from the left to the center. The sequence of left-to-center, right-to-center, left-to-center, right-to-center repeats until the braider reaches the end of the strands or decides to quit.
