Tips:
When you're working with more strands, it's even more important to keep your stitches tight and to make sure that you're not twisting them

The Twist (Supercircle) Stitch

You will need:
3 pieces of craft lace - 2 shorter pieces of equal length, and 1 longer piece that is 1.5 times the length of one of the shorter pieces

1' of lace for the short pieces and 1.5' of lace for the long piece will equal about 1.5'' of lanyard

The Twist Stitch starts the same way as the Brick Stitch

Pull stitches very tight - tight stitches make lanyards look much neater

The Twisted Triangle Stitch

Like the Triangle Stitch....only twisted.

You will need:
3 pieces of craft lace - equal length
1' of lace will equal about 2.5'' of lanyard

I. Starting/Doing the Twisted Triangle Stitch:


II. Finishing the Twisted Triangle Stitch:
The Twisted Triangle Stitch finished the same way as the Triangle Stitch

Tips:
While it may be counterintuitive, you need to keep repeating the same stitch in order for the lanyard to twist. This means that if you start a stitch with your top strand going to the left, you need to also start your next stitch with the top strand going to the left. Unlike with the regular Triangle Lanyard, you do not alternate your stitch with the Twisted Triangle Lanyard.

Tips:
Triangle stitches are much easier after the starting stitch has been completed. Do not get frustrated if you find it difficult to complete the starting stitch. Keep trying and eventually you will get it.

While it may be counterintuitive, you need to alternate your stitches to keep your lanyard from twisting. This means that if you start a stitch with your top strand going to the left, you need to start your next stitch with the top strand going to the right. Keep switching between top strand to the left and top strand to the right all the way through the lanyard.
