Our favorite variation is an 18 count first pattern, dropping Counts 15-16 above, followed by a 16 count pattern to the end, by dropping Counts 1-2 on the repeats. This uses both Option 1 and 2 below.OPTION 1 Some couples find it easier to balance by omitting Counts 15-16.OPTION 2 Some couples eliminate Counts 1-2 on all repeats.
