Which sequence lists the pairs that lead up and down the center after crossover lace?

• A. 1-1 2-1 3-4 4-4
• B. 2-2 1-3 3-4 4-1
• C. 1-2 2-3 3-1 4-4
• D. 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4

Answer: (A)

The pattern being tested is how threads approach the center after a crossover to create a balanced up-and-down movement along the center. The sequence shown does this by having the first two threads move toward the same center position, establishing the upward lift, and then the last two threads move toward the opposite center position to form the downward part. This symmetry and consistent progression through the center produce the intended center motion cleanly, which is why this sequence fits best. The other options would send threads to different center points in a way that disrupts the even up–down cadence, so they don’t produce the same balanced center effect.
