Lacing Technique – 11 pairs, Variation 1 – Single lattice

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

• The left (blue) end runs diagonally up and right on the outside, feeding in through the eyelet five rows higher up the shoe (skip past four rows), then continues straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-right (blue) end runs diagonally down and left on the outside, feeding in through the lowest empty eyelet at bottom-left before continuing straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• For the next three higher eyelets, repeat the previous steps to again run the left (blue) end diagonally up and right, then straight up, then diagonally down and left, then straight up, then diagonally up and right again, eventually feeding in through the second-from-top-right eyelet.

• Switching to the left (yellow) end, follow a mirror-image of the above path to lace the opposite eyelets. At each intersection of a crossing segment, alternate crossing under or over for a nicely woven result.

• Finish off with a simple crossover on the inside, with both ends emerging from the top eyelets.

Lacing Technique – 11 pairs, Variation 2 – Multiple short lattices

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

• The left (blue) end runs diagonally up and right on the outside, feeding in through the eyelet three rows higher up the shoe (skip past two rows), then continues straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-right (blue) end runs diagonally down and left on the outside, feeding in through the lowest empty eyelet at bottom-left before continuing straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-left (blue) end again runs diagonally up and right, feeding under the right side and out through the middle-right eyelet.

• Switching to the right (yellow) end, follow a mirror-image of the above path to lace the opposite eyelets. At each intersection of a crossing segment, alternate crossing under or over for a nicely woven result.

• The above steps complete the first (lower) lattice up to the middle of the shoe. Repeat all but the first step to lace the second (upper) lattice to the top of the shoe, making the first three diagonal passes with the left (yellow) end, then weaving through the second three diagonal passes with the right (blue) end.

Lacing Technique – 10 pairs of eyelets

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

• The left (blue) end runs diagonally up and right on the outside, feeding in through the eyelet five rows higher up the shoe (skip past four rows), then continues straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-right (blue) end runs diagonally down and left on the outside, feeding in through the lowest empty eyelet at bottom-left before continuing straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• For the next three higher eyelets, repeat the previous steps to again run the left (blue) end diagonally up and right, then straight up, then diagonally down and left, then straight up, then diagonally up and right again, eventually feeding under the right side and out through the top-right eyelet.

• Switching to the left (yellow) end, follow a mirror-image of the above path to lace the opposite eyelets. At each intersection of a crossing segment, alternate crossing under or over for a nicely woven result.

Lacing Technique – 9 pairs of eyelets

• 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 pair of eyelets four rows higher up the shoe (skip past three rows).

• Run both ends straight down on the inside and out through the lowest empty pair of eyelets at the bottom of the shoe.

• The right (blue) end runs diagonally up and left on the outside, feeding in through the eyelet four rows higher up the shoe (skip past three rows), then continues straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-left (blue) end runs diagonally down and right on the outside (crossing under the intersecting diagonal segment), feeding in through the lowest empty eyelet at bottom-right before continuing straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-right (blue) end again runs diagonally up and left, feeding in through the second-from-top-left eyelet.

• Switching to the left (yellow) end, follow a mirror-image of the above path to lace the opposite eyelets. At each intersection of a crossing segment, alternate crossing under or over for a nicely woven result.

• Finish off with a simple crossover on the inside, with both ends emerging from the top eyelets.

Lacing Technique – 8 pairs of eyelets

• 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 pair of eyelets four rows higher up the shoe (skip past three rows).

• Run both ends straight down on the inside and out through the lowest empty pair of eyelets at the bottom of the shoe.

• The right (blue) end runs diagonally up and left on the outside, feeding in through the eyelet four rows higher up the shoe (skip past three rows), then continues straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-left (blue) end runs diagonally down and right on the outside (crossing under the intersecting diagonal segment), feeding in through the lowest empty eyelet at bottom-right before continuing straight up on the inside and out through the next higher eyelet.

• The now-right (blue) end again runs diagonally up and left, feeding under the left side and out through the top-left eyelet.

• Switching to the left (yellow) end, follow a mirror-image of the above path to lace the opposite eyelets. At each intersection of a crossing segment, alternate crossing under or over for a nicely woven result.

Lacing Technique – 7 pairs of eyelets

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