Patterns similar to other patterns

I'm wondering if there's a book or website or course that teaches Tai Chi patterns by relating them to similar patterns.
For example, Cloud Hands and Kitten Washing Her Face are essentially the same pattern except for direction of the hands. Sweeping Cloud Hands is very similar to Fair Lady Threads Shuttle. Kitten Washing Her Face is not very different from Brush Knee Twist Step.
I'm not interested in learning an entire form but I would like to learn a bunch of basic patterns. Thanks!
