How do you make a box stitch with lanyard?

Answer 1

Instructions: Place both laces together. Place the key ring at the center and tie an overhand knot approximately 1/4 inch from the key ring. Arrange the strands in the form of a cross. The two light strands are at the top and the bottom and the dark strands at the left and right. You are now ready to form the box stitch. * see figure "A" *see figure "B" Fold strand 1 across the knot leaving a small loop. Fold strand 2 over strand 1 leaving a small loop. Hold in place with your fingers. * see figure "C" Fold 3 over 2 and hold. * see figure "D" Fold 4 over 3 and insert through the loop left in 1. * see figure "E" P ull the laces tightly. Take lace 1 and 4 in one hand, 2 and 3 in the other and pull. Take 1 and 2 in one hand, 3 and 4 in the other and pull again. This completes the base of your box stitch. * see figure "F" Fold strand 1 and 3 to the opposite side leaving a small loop on each and hold. Fold 2 over 3 and through the loop on 1. Fold 4 over 1 and through the loop on 3. Pull laces tightly. This is the second step needed to make the box stitch. Continue until you reach the desired length. see figure "G" To fasten off the box stitch leave the last stitch fairly loose bring 1 under 2 under 3 then up through the center. Repeat this step with 3 and 4. Gently tighten the strands one at a time around the square. Trim the ends diagonally at least one inch beyond your square.
