How To: 5 BEST Patterns on the 3x3 (and Big Cubes!)

A tutorial on how to make 5 of my favorite Rubik's Cube patterns, from the basic 3x3 versions to the most advanced 2x2-7x7+ variations.

Before you know it.. when we get to the 30 x 30 we will be playing chess

[bryanWWEfan]

To get the checkboxes on the 3x3, you also can do: M2 E2 S2

[DougCube]

There is also the cube-in-a-cube variation where it's alternating stripes so that each face only has two colors instead of three.

This was very fun! I like just the 2 basic ones (checkered and dots)!

Legit one of the weirdest scrambles i ever got Is on 3x3 white up Green in front: U D F2 R2 U F2 D2 B2 F2 U‘ L2 F B‘ U2 L‘ R‘ D2 F B L2

It's possible to have a cross on one pair of sides on a 3x3. what you do is hold the cube with one of the sides you want the cross on facing you, and turn the adjacent sides 180 degrees one after the other in sequence (right, bottom, left, top for example) 3 times keeping the same order each time and if you do it right the side facing you and the opposite side will have the crosses while the sides you were turning are clear. Also a variation of the dots pattern on a 3x3 is where the outer ring is 50/50 opposing colors in the form of an L. Simply turn each pair of sides in opposite directions. Also if you do the turns the same, i.e. you turn the left side down and the right side up, each time except when you bring the corners of the side you had facing you back to their center witch will be the opposite way then the Ls will be going the same direction on every side.

On the 6x6, you can make the checkerboard pattern like a 3x3

[Qwert]

For the checkerboard, you can just do a double move on each middle layer. For the 4 dot (four centers dotted) you can also do a checkerboard but with only 1 move instead of a double move twice. Found that out once by mistake.

I solved a cube for the first time in 2 years. Thanks for getting me back into it

[followin_Jesus]

Another pattern I like is (L R turn 1x on the y axis-doesn't matter which way but stay consistent). To undo, turn cube 1 more time and repeat algorithm. Or keep going by repeating the algorithm. If you do it 2x then you will have to undo 2x.

How to read Rubik's cube algorithms:
U = top part
L = left part
R = right part
F = front part
B = back part
D = bottom part
M = middle part between L and R
E = middle part between U and D
S = middle part between F and B
' (prime) = counter-clockwise turn
no ' = clockwise turn
2 = two turns
I hope you understand. 🤗 Here's the algorithms for the patterns:
Checkerboard - M2 E2 S2

Dots - M' S' M S
Dots (variation) - E M2 E' M2

Thanks for helping me bro!The thing thats good about paterns is that you make them if you are bored to solve the cube again and also all of them are beautiful

Whenever I messed up on a big cube it summons my adhd and PTSD☠️

[justaregularhumanbeing]

Let's all show this to non cubers who this making checker board pattern is something brilliant. ( It looks brilliant though)

[JosephTheAdventurer]

I can also solve a 2x2 to 5x5. Would you pls go to 0:36, 7:02, 12:46, 18:41, and 21:43?

[SnowStreamsToday]

you can do a perfect checkerboard on a even cube, like on a 6x6, just do a 3x3 checkerboard, and on the 10x10, do a 5x5 checkerboard.

[JJCuber]

Moral of the story: Even numbered cubes are not so good for patterns

[Vorexy]

Ty for my first cube today and I learned the checkerboard and dots pattern

[jenniferharrell]

For the dots pattern you can do the normal dots pattern then do the checkerboard pattern steps to get a flower

[Starpotion]

These are always fun to do after solving as a flourish
