The Fluted Columns Stitch is a difficult stitch. However, its unique appearance makes the effort worthwhile. It's basically a Wall Stitch with a Square Stitch attached on each side.
You will need:
6 pieces of craft lace - 4 shorter pieces of equal length and 2 longer pieces that are twice that length
1' of lace for the short pieces and 2' of lace for the long pieces will equal about 1.5'' of lanyard
