Great patterns don’t happen by accident. Scale, spacing, color, and layout all play a role in the final look. We’ve put together a quick guide to help you explore the possibilities and identify the direction that best fits your brand. Let us know what catches your eye, and we’ll take it from there.

Type

Pattern type determines how the pattern repeats across the garment. Different repeat styles can create anything from a structured, uniform look to a more natural, free-flowing appearance.

Spacing

Pattern spacing controls the distance between design elements. Tighter spacing creates a fuller, busier pattern, while looser spacing gives the design a more open and relaxed feel.

Color

Pattern color defines the visual contrast within the pattern. High-contrast palettes add energy and make the design stand out, while tonal color palettes create a more refined and elevated appearance.

Scale

Pattern scale refers to the size of the design elements within the pattern. Larger elements create a bolder, more eye-catching look, while smaller elements tend to feel more subtle and versatile.

Style

Use an existing pattern style, like tropical florals or animal-inspired prints, to set the personality of your finished piece.
