Double Stitch

This is a five person weave that I learned at EJC 2010 in Jonesuu, Finland. It can be juggled on a two count or three count. The starting positions and first pass are shown below:

In the two count version Ben makes two passes to Daniel as he walks forward through the middle of the pattern and Eliza makes two passes to Anne as she walks backwards on the outside of the pattern. In the three count version they only make one pass in each position.

The next passes are shown below:

Once again in the two count version Ben makes two passes to Daniel as he walks backwards on the outside of the pattern and Eliza makes two passes to Clare as she walks forwards through the middle of the pattern. In the three count version they only make one pass in each position.

The next passes are shown below:

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

In both these patterns the weavers do six count when they're not passing with the feeder.
