Double Weave
(aka butterfly knot)

This is a pattern for six jugglers. It can be thought of as a six person verion of pistons. It's best to learn it on a six count, but it can be juggler on a four count or even a three count.

The initial positions are shown below. A passes with D, B passes with E and C passes with F.

Now all the jugglers move in the direction of the red arrows.

Now A passes with F, B passes with D and C passes with E.

Once again all the jugglers move in the direction of the red arrows.

Now A passes with E, B passes with F and C passes with D.

This diagram is just like the first one, except all the jugglers have moved around.

Here's an alternative way to juggle this pattern:
The initial positions are shown below. A passes with D, B passes with E and C passes with F.

Now all the jugglers move in the direction of the red arrows.

Now A passes with E, B passes with F and C passes with D.

Once again all the jugglers move in the direction of the red arrows.

Now A passes with F, B passes with D and C passes with E.

This diagram is just like the first one, except all the jugglers have moved around.
