Hexagram Lacing
(Lug version)
|
|
A lug version of
Hexagram Lacing. This purely decorative lacing forms a hexagram, or six pointed star. This geometric symbol has
been used for centuries in various cultures and religions, most notably as the Jewish "Star of David".

Lacing Technique:
1. The lace is run straight across the bottom (grey section) and up through both bottom lugs.
2. Cross the ends over and feed down through the third set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 1 sets of lugs).
3. The right (blue) end runs diagonally up to the left, feeding up through the top left lug.
4. The left (yellow) end runs in a complete loop: Straight across and up through the adjacent lug on the right side
of the shoe, then back across and down through the adjacent lug on the left side.
5. Finally, the left (yellow) end runs diagonally up to the right, feeding up through the top right lug.

NOTE:
If the crossovers of the laces are carefully woven as shown, they will not only accurately depict the traditional
"Star of David" but will also hold the shape of the lacing more securely.
