Double Cross Lacing
|
|
This blend of Over Under Lacing and Hash Lacing
creates overlapping "crosses", which can also be woven into the most intricate "macrame".

Standard Double Cross Lacing
This pic, sent to me by Shegolevskaya, really shows how this lacing can be woven.

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom (grey section) and emerges through both bottom eyelets.
2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets.
3. Cross the ends over and go down one eyelet to emerge from the third set of eyelets.
4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over on top and going up three sets of eyelets, then crossing over
below to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.
FEATURES:
 Decorative
 Harder to tighten
If woven, very tricky to tighten
NOTE:
This method looks best on shoes with even numbered pairs of eyelets (eg. 8 pairs = 16 eyelets). If you use
this method on a shoe with, for example, 7 pairs (14 eyelets), you'll reach the top of the shoe without
skipping the second-last eyelets. This results in the last sections of lace running at a slightly different angle.
You can choose to do this at the top of the lacing or at the bottom of the lacing (as shown in the picture at left).
You could also do a standard criss-cross of lace at the top.
If your shoes do have even numbered pairs of eyelets, you may also prefer to do this at both ends in order
to avoid having empty eyelets.
This lacing can be woven into the most intricate "macrame", as shown in the picture at left, by lacing it with the
large crossovers on the outside and the small crossovers on the inside (ie. inside-out), then bringing the small
crossovers over the top. Whilst it looks great, do note that it is terribly difficult to tighten or loosen.
It's best used on low shoes or sneakers, such as the one pictured, which can be removed without loosening and thus
disturbing the interwoven sections. |
