Hash Lacing
|
Like
Double Cross Lacing, this method is also created by running three steps forward, one step back. The result
resembles a diagonal series of hash "#" symbols.

Lacing Technique:
• Begin straight across on the inside (grey section) and out through the bottom eyelets.
• Cross the ends on the outside and feed in through the set of eyelets three rows higher up the shoe (skip
past two sets of eyelets).
• Run both ends straight down on the inside and emerge through the next lower set of eyelets.
• Continue three steps up, one step back until lacing is completed.
Features:

Variations:
1
The standard method skips the second-from-top and second-from-bottom eyelets, which results in hash symbols of a
consistent height and angle.
2
The top and bottom hashes can be "squashed" by skipping past only one pair of eyelets. This will result in a look
that is less consistent but more dense, which will also use more shoelace. Note that on shoes with an odd number
of eyelet pairs, one end of the lacing (either the top or the bottom) will need to be squashed.
