Yarn: Berroco Linsey (64% Cotton, 36% Linen; 114 yards [105 meters]/50 grams); #6556 Shell - less than 1 skein

Needles: One set of straight needles in size 6, two double-pointed needles (dpns) also in size 6 (for the i-cord, of course!)

Notions: Tapestry needle

Gauge: 21 stitches = 4 inches

Using your straight needles, cast on 32 stitches. We're going to work a few eyelets for the lacing, so let's get started!

Set-up Row 1 (right side): p1, * k6, p2; rep from *; end p1 instead of p2

Set-up Row 2: k1, * p6, k2 *; end k1 instead of k2

Set-up Row 3: p1, * k1, k2tog, (yo) twice, ssk, k1, p2 *; end p1 instead of p2
A Treasury of Knitting Patterns, and goes as follows:

Row 1: p1, * (k2tog but don't drop from left-hand needle, knit the first stitch again and then slide both from needle) x 3, p2 *; end p1 instead of p2

Rows 2 & 4: k1, * p6, k2 *; end k1 instead of k2

Row 3: p1, * k1, (k2tog but don't drop from left-hand needle, knit the first stitch again and then slide both from needle) x 2, k1, p2 *; end p1 instead of p2

Work in pattern until piece measures between 1" and 1.5" less than the narrowest point on your wrist, depending on how much of the skin beneath the lacing you want to be visible (the finished piece will be about 1/2" longer than it is at this moment). Oh, and you should have just finished a wrong-side row. Now, let's work the final eyelets and bind off, which will proceed as follows:
Finish-up Row 1: p1, * k1, k2tog, (yo) twice, ssk, k1, p2 *; end p1 instead of p2
Finish-up Row 2: k1, * p2, p1 in front of first yo, p1 in back of second yo, p2, k2 *; end k1 instead of k2
Finish-up Row 3: p1, * k6, p2; rep from *; end p1 instead of p2

Bind of loosely and tuck in ends. Now let's make that i-cord, which you will do by casting 4 stitches onto your dpns and working until the cord measures at least 38", or more if you want it longer. Tuck in those ends too, and lace the sucker as shown in top picture. Also, as a note: unless you are three-armed and/or vastly more coordinated than I am, you will probably need someone else to tie this on for you. Just FYI.
