Do you have directions on a multi-strand lucet pattern? I have only ever seen 1 strand, with a possible additional strand for decorative effect.

I found an interesting exploration of lucet vs. fingerloop and regular braiding here (”http://www.et-tu.com/soper/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=viewnews&id=51"). The author is discussing the possible documentation of lucet cords during the “silent” period of the 15th century (which I have also done some research (http://hsifeng.livejournal.com/tag/lucet) on for the 16th C).

I really like her comparative image of the various styles:
