爱华网Lattice Lacing
Great for boots andrunners with a wide gap, this method forms a neat woven lattice inthe middle of the lacing. Works best on shoes with six pairs ofeyelets (ie. 12 eyelets). There's two variations, one for shorterlaces, one for longer laces.
Lacing Technique - Method 1 - ShorterLaces:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom(grey section) and emerges from both bottom eyelets.
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up theshoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set ofeyelets.
4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up theshoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set ofeyelets.
6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set ofeyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
Lacing Technique - Method 2 - LongerLaces:
1. The lace runs straight across the bottom(grey section) and emerges from both bottom eyelets.
2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up theshoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).
3. Both ends now run straight down and emerge from the 2nd set ofeyelets (skip past 1 set of eyelets).
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3), crossing over and feeding into the 5thset of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the 3rd set ofeyelets.
5. Complete the lacing by crossing over, feeding under and emergingfrom the top set of eyelets. Alternately, feed the lacesinto the top two eyelets; this makes for a neater lattice,though the knot is then a little more difficult to tie.
TIP:
It's easier to do the weaving and get all the"Overs" and "Unders" correct if you firstly lace one end all theway to the top of the shoe. For example, complete the left (blue)end, then weave the right (yellow) end in and out.
NOTE:
Because of the way this lacing exactly fills 6 adjacent pairs ofeyelets (ie. 12 eyelets), the pattern can't simply be continuedthrough any number of eyelets. In other words, it can't be used thesame way on all shoes. See below for some variations of LatticeLacing to suit shoes with different numbers of eyelet pairs.

| Although Lattice Lacingworks best on shoes with six pairs of eyelets, here's some simplediagrams for adapting it to work with different numbers of eyeletpairs. The light yellow sections are on top whilst the dark greysections are underneath: |
6 Pairs
Perfect!Create a single lattice as shown above.
7 Pairs
Add either avertical pass or a crossover at either the top or the bottom.
8 Pairs
Add either avertical pass or a crossover at both the top and the bottom.
8 Pairs
Use variation2, running the lacing at a steeper angle to create a four-waylattice.
9Pairs
Join two completelattices
