When you are ready to finish the lanyard,
do one last stitch. Only keep this stitch loose.
Then take each strand, wrap it around its nearest strand and bring it up through
the center. We will start with the orange strand.
I will wrap it around the blue strand,
and bring it up through the center.
Then the green strand. Wrap it around the purple strand,
and up through the center.
The blue strand, around the yellow strand,
and up through the center.
Purple around orange, and up through the center,
got the camera cord caught in there.
Finally, yellow around green, and up through the center.
Then slowly tying them all, and you have finished that end.
Oh, wait. You still have the knot made on the other side.
Undo this knot, and you will actually see your starting stitch.
Make one more stitch above this stitch.
Then bring the strands through the middle like we did on the other side,
and you have completed the pentagon stitch.
