I’ve never seen this particular arrangement for brocading, so I think it’s original, but in weaving you never know…
Straight threading on 8 shafts. In the weft, the brocade picks are shown in yellow and the plain weave ground picks in black. One complete weft repeat is 16 picks.

Following are some photos of today’s brocading samples, with doubled strands of 8/2cotton as the brocading wefts and 10/2 cotton as the plain weave ground.





And here’s the best friend that keeps the 16-pick sequence organized for me, my TempoTreadle from LoftyFiber.
