Lacing Technique – Variation 1 – Bi-color shoelace

• Start with a bi-color shoelace, where half the length is one color and the other half is a different color.

• Begin straight across on the inside (straight section) and out through the bottom eyelets.

• At each eyelet pair, cross the ends, feeding under the sides and out through the next higher set of eyelets. Repeat until lacing is completed.

Lacing Technique – Variation 2 – Knotted halves

• Tie together two half-length shoelaces of different colors using a simple joining knot (eg. Reef Knot).

• Run the knotted section straight across the bottom with the ends emerging through both bottom eyelets.

• At each eyelet pair, cross the ends, feeding under the sides and out through the next higher set of eyelets. Repeat until lacing is completed.

Lacing Technique – Variation 3 – Separate halves

• Start with two half-length shoelaces of different colors, each with a simple stopper-knot tied in one end.

• Feed the un-knotted end of one half-length shoelace out through the bottom left eyelet and the other half-length shoelace out through the bottom right eyelet.

• At each eyelet pair, cross the ends, feeding under the sides and out through the next higher set of eyelets. Repeat until lacing is completed.
