5.0   Procedure

5.1   Pull laces until tight with a lace in each hand

5.2   Cross the laces forming an “X” shape while maintaining the tightness

5.3   Put the lace in the right hand beneath the bottom of the “X” and pull. You should be left with a “V” shape.

5.4   Make a loop with the left lace, pinching it at the base of the loop

5.5   Take the right lace and wrap once around the base of the loop

5.6   You should be left with a second loop formed around the first
