    It has several names - six pack, snake belly, ladder rack, or trilobite. If you want to have fun with it, use dark brown cordage. Braid the first few rows very tight. Then loosely braid the middle. Finally braid the last few rows tight. With practice, you can make something that resembles a palmetto bug.
