An easier method that works with any number of eyeless is to make the first bar between the eyelets nearest the toe at the bottom of the shoe vamp then pass one end of the laces in a long diagonal from the bottom left to the top right eyelet, then take the other end of the shoelace from the bottom right and do a kind of repeating blanket stitch making bars across each pair of eyelets on top and diagonally to the next pair of eyelets behind.

This is crying out for pics I know!

I have never really paid much attention to the number of eyelets on my shoes but based upon how the AEs in the pic look and how much space sits between opposite eyelets, for aesthetic reasons, I would probably keep them the way they are.

Here are the AEs to which I was referring.

I later answered my own question by trying both methods. The crisscross method won out due to the aforementioned impressions left by the laces. The bar lacing just didn't look right.

I apologize in advance if this is obvious to some, but I'm still learning about cloth.
