I needed to make this knot tight and neat. It is one continuous lace, and making it tight is kind of like tightening the laces on your hightop sneakers. You get a little bit of slack down by the toe, pull it up one eyelet at a time until you get to the top. I did the same here, picking an arbitrary piece in the middle-ish, tugging it out, pulling it through the next bight, and repeating the process many times. I was very careful to have the lace lie flat everywhere, no twists, and even tension throughout. Patience and neatness really count here.
