Here's another one, perhaps x2?:
2X with straight pull spokes. 24 spoke wheels are almost universally 2x although I have seen a few done 3x. (J bend only) With straight pull, you don't get to chose the pattern as the spoke holes point the spokes where they want it to go.
Straight pull wheels are often not interlaced. I build as many straight pull as J bend these days, and I do interlace when it doesn't cause too much distortion, but don't sweat it if you can't.
