I have seen it done two ways.
The wrong way, I think, but maybe an option, is for the bishop to offer the final blessing at Mass with three “Signs of the Cross” beginning from his left, to the middle and then to the right. I just saw Pope Paul VI on an old video do it that way.
But, Pope Leo offers his Final “tripple” Blessing at Mass, beginning in the middle, then to the left and then to the right.
I think that’s the kosher way, but maybe both are kosher and if so, why the difference? Does anyone know?

Methinks, J-P II is right. Leo imitates the directions of giving Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament.
