Beware that this stitch isn't the usual ones the you usually see. for average lanyard makers I would rank it as : difficult. but since I know more difficult stitches than that so I give it in my perspective a rank : medium. Haven't wrote full description yet, but here are some links you may want to see: for some photos of the 4 sided "key" , haven't organized all the photos, so that's isn't the final link: https://goo.gl/photos/3VCDhbPvyAzroKqV7 want to know more? check out my weekly Facebook page that I shown more videos that didn't reached my channel!: / 1601618443384150 _______________ 00:00 - intro. The quad stitch is the first stitch in length that has other variations excluding the normal quad stitch. Here we'll talk about my favorite quad variation boondoggle stitch (scoubidou/lanyard/gimp). After knowing this stitch you may try the same idea on a larger stitch such as a 3by3 (3x3), on a 4by4 (4x4) stitch or even on a tornado stitch (2by2 / 2x2)! 00:02:03 - instructions for first part of this video. 00:02:08 - step 1. that current position is if you have one of the strings that points towards you is on the far right. 00:02:30 - step 2. make a box stitch out of the 4 strings that are in the edge. 00:02:58 - step 3. we will now go in counter-clockwise order, by first taking the string that point towards you (this will be called 1st string) . weaving OVER the edge string that points Right and UNDER the edge string that points Up. 00:04:42 - step 4. 2nd string (the one on the right side) , weaving OVER the edge string that points Up , UNDER the "1st string" (from step 3) , and UNDER the edge string that points Left. 00:06:20 - step 5. 3rd string (the one on the away from you), weaving OVER the edge string that points Left , UNDER the "2nd string" (from step 4) , and UNDER the edge string that points Down. 00:07:23 - step 6. 4th string (the one on the left), weaving OVER the edge string that points Down, UNDER the "3rd string" (from step 5) , OVER the "1st string" (from step 3) ,and UNDER the edge string that points Right. 00:11:54 - moving to the stitch that is the mirror position of this stitch (everything is in the opposite side). ___ 00:12:06 - instructions for second part of this video, since in a quad stitch scoubidou (lanyard/boondoggle/gimp) there are to similar ways to have it, one is the mirror stitch of the other, I'll need to examine both of them. 00:12:11 - step 1. that current position is if you have one of the strings that points towards you is on the far left. 00:12:46 - step 2. make a box stitch out of the 4 strings that are in the edge. 00:13:08 - step 3. we will now go in clockwise order (the opposite from previously), by first taking the string that point towards you (this will be called 1st string) . weaving OVER the edge string that points Left and UNDER the edge string that points Up. 00:14:43 - step 4. 2nd string (the one on the left side) , weaving OVER the edge string that points Up , UNDER the "1st string" (from step 3) , and UNDER the edge string that points Right. 00:16:13 - step 5. 3rd string (the one on the away from you), weaving OVER the edge string that points Right, UNDER the "2nd string" (from step 4) , and UNDER the edge string that points Down. 00:17:26 - step 6. 4th string (the one on the right), weaving OVER the edge string that points Down, UNDER the "3rd string" (from step 5) , OVER the "1st string" (from step 3) ,and UNDER the edge string that points Left. 00:19:58 - finishing the stitches.
