The Twist (Supercircle) Stitch


The Twist Stitch is just like the Brick Stitch, only you cross the strands instead of bringing them straight across.

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

I. Starting the Twist Stitch:
The Twist Stitch starts the same way as the Brick Stitch

II. Doing the Twist Stitch:

III. Finishing the Twist Stitch:
The Twist Stitch finishes the same way as the Brick Stitch

Tips:
Try alternating between 10 brick stitches and 10 twist stitches on the same lanyard
Pull stitches very tight - tight stitches make lanyards look much neater
