Angled Checker Lacing
|
|
Doubling up two different colored shoelaces and weaving them through each other like
Lattice Lacing forms a dense angled two-color checker pattern.

Lacing Technique:
1. Start with two different colored shoelaces, preferably flat and not too wide.
2. Feed one lace (purple) through the bottom left eyelet. Feed through half the length so that the two loose ends
are of equal length.
3. Hold both ends of the left (purple) lace together to end up with a double-thickness shoelace.
4. The left (purple) ends are run diagonally upwards on the outside and are fed in through the third higher set of
eyelets up the shoe (skip past two sets of eyelets).
5. The ends are run straight up the inside and emerge through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
6. The ends are run diagonally downwards on the outside and are fed in through the third lower set of eyelets down
the shoe (skip past two sets of eyelets).
7. The ends are run straight up the inside and emerge through the next set of eyelets up the shoe.
8. The ends are run diagonally upwards on the outside, then fed under the sides to emerge through the top right set
of eyelets (skip past two sets of eyelets).
9. Feed the second lace (orange) through the bottom right eyelet. Feed through half the length so that the two
loose ends are of equal length.
10. Using the two ends of the right (orange) lace, repeat Steps (4) through (8) in reverse to follow a mirror-image
path of the left (purple) lace ends.
11. At each intersection, ensure that one of the ends weaves over and under the left (purple) segments while the
other end weaves under and over. |

NOTE:
At the top of the shoe, once again hold the two ends at each side together as though they are one double-thickness
shoelace and tie a regular shoelace knot.
This lacing works best with thinner laces because each eyelet has to accommodate two passes of shoelace.
These instructions only work on shoes with exactly six pairs of eyelets. For shoes with different numbers of eyelet
pairs, see the more comprehensive
Lattice Lacing instructions.
