This is the pattern in the OP as far as I can tell. It has a 14 row repeat.

Thread the tablets as shown in the threading


diagram, with your tablets labelled as shown (that’s one of my many bad habits- I long ago stopped bothering to label
new tablets). Start with the D and A holes of every tablet uppermost, then turn every tablet forward for 4 rows (the
pattern should read “All F” for row 4). Turn tablets 1-4 forward and tablets 5-8 backwards for three rows. Turn all the
tablets forwards for a further 4 rows, then tablets 1-4 backwards and tablets 5-8 forwards for three rows to complete
the pattern repetition.
This one is the pattern for the band I posted a picture of upthread and has an 8 row repeat. Thread your tablets as
shown and begin with the D and A holes uppermost. Turn all the tablets forwards for 4 rows, then turn tablets 1-3 and
9-11 forwards and tablets 4-8 backwards for 4 rows to complete the repeat.
On both of the pattern diagrams the grey shaded areas in the boxes show that the tablets are being turned backwards,
while the unshaded squares show that the tablets are being turned forwards. This all assumes that the weaver is
positioned with the forming cloth directly in from of them.
I would recommend adding two border tablets to each side of the pattern, threaded S and Z, to give a firm, tidy
selvedge.
