This scale pattern is a great exercise for your hands and ears. It's a common pattern that's used in fiddle tunes like Whiskey Before Breakfast and Blackberry Blossom.
This pattern is named 1231 because that is scale degrees and basic 4 note pattern that's being used. The notes of D Major are D E F# G A B C#. Using the 1231 pattern you end up with DEF#D for the first four note pattern. Then that same scale movement is applied when starting on the next scale note, which gives you EF#GE(2342).
