Starting thumbs up, move you flag to the left going counterclockwise. As soon as your flag starts to move, you will let go with your left hand, and as the flag points down (1), you will regrab with your left hand being thumbs up (pointing towards the silk).
As the flag return to ‘up’(2), your right hand will adjust since your left hand is grasping the flag, so your right hand will return to thumbs down as the flag returns to vertical. The way to tell if you’re grabbing the flag correctly is if the flag pole is in between your flag is in between your thumb and pointer finger (see image below)
