The 5 beat weave requires some concentration and the ability to weave 3 beats well. For clarity the video shows an exaggerated movement. When the '5 beat' is mastered your wrists can be so tight that it's difficult to work out what's going on!!

1) Start by spinning a 3 beat weave and focus on one arm (lets call it arm 1)

2) Arm one crosses over the top of arm two to its opposite side.

3) Thats where it stays for an extra spin before leading back to its original side. this will feel a bit odd as arm 2 normally leads! At this point your arms should be doing the tangled thing! (fig A.)

4) Arm 2 will follow arm 1 across your body and end up on its opposing side. Again leave it for an extra spin before making sure it leads back and is followed by arm 1.

Woohoo!!! The five bean weevil!
