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.
