Some Rubik's Cube Patterns
After getting very bored of plain old solving the cube, I decided to work out a few patterns (and scab a few off various sites). Here is a collection:

The Patterns

 * Anaconda (or connecting corners): L U B' U' R L' B R' F B' D R D' F'
 * Black Mamba (or corner/corner/straight/straight): R D L F' R L' D R' U D' B U' R' D'
 * Checkerboard (or pons asinorum): F2 B2 R2 L2 U2 D2
 * Cube in a Cube (or twisted 2x2): F L F U' R U F2 L2 U' L' B D' B' L2 U
 * Cube in a Cube in a Cube:  U' L' U' F' R2 B' R F U B2 U B' L U' F U R F'
 * Exchanged Chicken Feet: F L' D' B' L F U F' D' F L2 B' R' U L2 D' F
 * Exchanged Peaks (or exchanged vertices): F U2 L F L' B L U B' R' L' U R' D' F' B R2
 * Exchanged Rings: B' U' B' L' D B U D2 B U L D' L' U' L2 D
 * Four Spot: F2 B2 U D' R2 L2 U D'
 * Hexagon of order 2: U B2 U' F' U' D L' D2 L U D' F D' L2 B2 D'
 * Hexagon of order 3: D L' U R' B' R B U2 D B D' B' L U D'
 * Python (or corner/straight): F2 R' B' U R' L F' L F' B D' R B L2
 * Six Spot: U D' R L' F B' U D'
 * Stripes: F U F R L2 B D' R D2 L D' B R2 L F U F
 * Twisted Checkerboard (or checkerboard of order 3): F B2 R' D2 B R U D' R L' D' F' R2 D F2 B'
 * T's: (or t's of order 3): F2 R2 U2 F' B D 2 L2 F B
 * The Golden Ratio (or six-two-one): U B2 D2 L B' L' U' L' B D2 B2
 * Tom Parks' pattern: L U F2 R L' U2 B' U D B2 L F B' R' L F' R 
 * Twisted Chicken Feet: F L' D F' U' B U F U' F R' F2 L U' R' D2
 * Twisted Cross: R2 L' D F2 R' D' R' L U' D R D B2 R' U D2
 * Twisted Orthogonal Bars: F R' U L F' L' F U' R U L' U' L F'
 * Twisted Peaks (or twisted vertices): F B' U F U F U L B L2 B' U F' L U L' B
 * Twisted Rings: F D F' D2 L' B' U L D R U L' F' U L U2

The Solutions
Once you've achieved the pattern, this is how to get back to normal again:
 * Anaconda (front being the side with a pattern that is the colour of the home face above it): F D R' D' B F' R B' L R' U B U' L'
 * Black Mamba (front being the side with a horizontal straight line the colour of a base colour next to it): D R U B' D U' R D' L R' F L' D' R'
 * Checkerboard (front being any side): F2 B2 U2 D2 L2 R2
 * Cube in a Cube (front being the side with a 2x2 square the same colour as the base above it, square on the top-right corner): U' L2 B D B' L U L2 F2 U' R' U F' L' F'
 * Cube in a Cube in a Cube (front being the side with the little cube the same colour as base above it, on the top-right corner): F R' U' F' U L' B U' B2 U' F' R' B R2 F U L U
 * Exchanged Chicken Feet (front being the side with a center cube the same colour as opposite base, different corner cube on the top-right): F' D L2 U' R B L2 F' D F U' F' L' B D L F'
 * Exchanged Peaks (front being the side with the peak on the top-right, : B' L U' L' F U' B L2 B' L' U' F' U' F' U' B F'
 * Exchanged Rings: D' L2 U L D L' U' B' D2 U' B' D' L B U B
 * Four Spot: D U' L2 R2 D U' B2 F2
 * Hexagon of order 2: D B2 L2 D F' D U' L' D2 L D' U F U B2 U'
 * Hexagon of order 3: D U' L' B D B' D' U2 B' R' B R U' L D'
 * Python: L2 B' R' D B' F L' F L' R U' B R F2
 * Six Spot: D U' B F' L R' D U'
 * Stripes: F' U' F' L' R2 B' D L' D2 R' D B' L2 R' F' U' F'
