Art Deco Geometrica: Double Cross Hatch

This pattern focused on creating multiple sharp angles once the square tiles are spread out on a uniform grid. I used a small cell grid made of 8 x 8 square units because at the time I was making this pattern, I was maximizing the number of patterns I can draw into a notebook sheet. I was also experimenting with how an odd or even count of the initial pattern grid can change potential patterns.

I often imagine how the pattern will work out in a 3 x 3 grid of squares to show how other variations emerge from the initial pattern. Once the draft is digitized, the resulting iteration looks like this:

A cross also shows up in the intersections between the initial pattern, hence the name “double cross hatch” since a dual cross is forming—one inside the irregular octagon and another “X” in the intersection points between the uniform pattern grid.

If you like this pattern and want to peruse more similar designs, you can support me by visiting my Adobe Stock contributor page, where the iterations of the patterns can be found; looking at my Redbubble shop, or going to my YouTube channel to see me draw these patterns!

The previous pattern I talked about, Pattern 2024.003, Checkered Hyperbola, can be found here.
