Below is a list of siteswaps or juggling patterns by siteswap.

Toss juggling requires more balls than hands.[3] Thus tricks such as the one ball cascade toss back and forth, 300,[4] for example, may not be considered valid patterns. Throws back and forth shower style, odd numbers, are the most common one prop practice. Invalid or practice patterns and tricks are marked with an X.

The numbers are as follows:[5]

Symbols:

  • Number: Relative height of a toss. 1, 2, 3...
  • Brackets []: Multiplex. [333]33.
  • Chevrons and vertical bar <|>: Simultaneous and passing patterns.
    • P: Pass. <333P|333P>
    • Fraction: Pass 1/y beats later. <4.5 3 3 | 3 4 3.5>
  • Parentheses (): Synchronous pattern.
    • *: Synchronous pattern that switches sides. (4,2x)(2x,4) = (4,2x)*
    • x: Toss to the other hand during a synchronous pattern.

Asynchronous

A pattern is symmetrical (S) if both hands play the same role and asymmetrical (A) if not. All asynchronous patterns whose period is odd are symmetrical, and all asynchronous patterns whose period is even are asymmetrical.
