 0123456 is a symmetrical 3 object siteswap. It can be done starting with all the objects in one hand, or entered directly from the cascade by starting with the 4: ...333333 45601234560123 333333...

To do one round of the pattern, start from a cascade, and make a non-crossing throw (a 4) twice as high as the cascade, and then a crossing throw (a 5) twice as high as the 4, so all three balls are on the same side of the pattern. Make another non-crossing throw (a 6) about 1 1/2 times as high as the 5, and pause for one beat (a 0). Then with the same hand that threw the 6, pass the ball that was thrown as a 4 across to the other hand (a 1) and pause for one beat (a 2), and then you can go right back into the cascade. If you're doing the pattern continuously, you just do one throw of the cascade (a 3), and then start another 4560123 on the other side.
