`The lucet, a horn-shaped tool often made from wood, dates back to the Viking era. While I have
`not been able to formally document the use of a double lucet, the technique is simply a variation
`on basic luceting, creating a thicker, sturdy, two-color cord, by essentially working two single
`lucets slotted together perpendicularly.
`
`I acquired my first double lucet at a Pennsic War.
`Double Lucet Patterns are available here in PDF or GIF formats.
`STEP 1: Slide the two pieces of the double
`lucet together as shown here.
`
`Keep in mind that you will be using the
`same basic luceting technique as with one
`single horn.
`
`Think as though you are working on two
`single lucets simultaneously, rather than
`one double lucet. For purposes of these
`instructions, I will refer to one lucet horn
`as LUCET A and the other as LUCET B.
`
`You will be working each of the two lucets
`alternately, with the cord being created
`where the two working threads intersect
`(see photos below).
`
`Tristar Ex. 1017, pg. 1
`
`
`
`STEP 2: Begin by winding your COLOR
`#1 yarn on the LEFT horn of LUCET A,
`back to front. Continue winding the yarn
`on the RIGHT horn, back to front, and
`once again on the LEFT horn of LUCET
`A, back to front. Hold the tail of the yarn
`firmly against the lucet with your left
`thumb (or any other available finger) while
`winding with your right hand.
`
`Next, bring the yarn across to the front of
`the RIGHT horn of LUCET A. TURN the
`tool 180 degrees with your left hand.
`STEP 3: The process of turning the tool
`180 degrees will wind the yarn around it
`properly. You will have an upper and a
`lower thread on RIGHT horn of LUCET
`A. Lift the lower thread over the upper
`thread to form your first stitch.
`
`To tighten down this stitch, pull the
`working yarn gently to the right.
`
`STEP 4: Turn the tool 90 degrees. You are
`now ready to begin working your COLOR
`#2 on LUCET B. With your second color,
`repeat STEPs 2-3.
`
`Tristar Ex. 1017, pg. 2
`
`
`
`STEP 5: Pick COLOR #1 back up, wrap it
`front to back over the LEFT horn of
`LUCET A, and lift the lower yarn on the
`horn over the upper to form your second
`stitch of COLOR #1. Repeat with COLOR
`#2.
`
`[At this point and from now on, you may
`tighten down your loops by gently tugging
`on the opposite loop (in this instance the
`RIGHT loop) on the respective lucet horn,
`pulling it out away from the horn, (e.g. to
`the right). This method can allow you to
`use even tension, thereby creating more
`consistant stitches, moreso than by
`tightening the stitches by tugging on the
`working yarn alone.*
`However, the loop on the left horn may get
`big, and may be tightened down by gently
`tugging on the working yarn.]
`
`Top View: These pictures shows how the
`two cords should lay on top if each other if
`you are looking directly down at the tool.
`
`Tristar Ex. 1017, pg. 3
`
`
`
`Repeat STEPS 4-5 until your cord reachs
`the desired length.
`
`The working yarn that appears to lay on the
`top of your stitches will alternate back and
`forth between COLOR #1 and #2 (White
`and Green).
`
`Tristar Ex. 1017, pg. 4
`
`
`
`As you keep turning your lucet tool,
`alternating from LUCET A to LUCET B,
`your working yarns will naturally twist on
`themselves, so be prepared to untwist the
`working yarns regularly.
`
`When you have reached the desired length,
`cut your working yarns leaving about a 6
`inch tail. Take the cords off both of the
`horns.
`
`Run the working yarn COLOR #1 through
`the LEFT COLOR #1 loop and gently
`tighten down that loop, then run the
`working thread through the RIGHT
`COLOR #1 loop and tighten down. Repeat
`for COLOR #2 (process not pictured here).
`
`Congratulations! You have just completed
`a DOUBLE luceted cord.
`
`* I had snapped several lucet horns in half by tugging too tightly on the working cord, before Lady
`Alys showed me this better technique for tightening down stitches.
