We work hard to make sure this is the most exhaustively complete list of woven wrap carries on the internet! If a carry is missing, a link is broken, or any misinformation seems to be listed, please let us know, we'd love to add/update/correct it!
This page is designed to be a list of all the known carries and their variations. Each carry has a summary including skill level, useful features, size, where the middle marker starts, etc, and a link to my favorite tutorial for that carry or variation. The page is organized first by position (front/back/tandem), then by size, and then alphabetically. Variations are grouped together, so if you're checking for a favorite carry it may be listed with it's classic version (example: Freshwater Rapids will be under Double Hammock). Have fun!!

Some notes:
"DH" and 1/2 "DH" off center: a full "DH" off is a measure of the distance from your sternum to your spine.
* Ties at shoulder: uses a slip knot, a Candy Cane Chest Belt (CCCB), a Kai Belt, a knotless Buleria finish, a knotted Buleria finish, or a Brittany's Rose finish
** New name for the pass and carries that previously used the term "Rebozo", as they have been voted on by the babywearing community via wearingwiki.com. More information about why the change was made can also be found on that site.
