A
repeat is basically an arrangement of a tiny pattern
that is repeated all over the design area. Motifs
can be arranged lengthwise or width wise depending
on the direction of draping. Following are the kinds
of repeats.
Simple
Repeat
When a basic motif block is repeated in a single array
both horizontally and vertically, it is termed as
a simple repeat.
Mirror Repeat
A vertically and/or horizontally flipped image is
called a mirror repeat. When holistically viewed,
the effect of a compact uniform block is achieved.
Cross
Repeat
The arrangement of cross repeats is as depicted in
the adjoining image type. It is a vertical and a diagonal
brick type representation.
