2. STRIPES:
Stripe pattern refers to bands, strips or lines of different colours, evenly or unevenly spaced, appearing on the surface of the fabric. Striped cloth is usually warp-faced cloth but can be weft-faced too. Depending on the thickness of the band or gap, their arrangement etc, the stripes pattern can be of several types-

3. CHECKS/PLAID:
The terms “plaid” and “check” are used interchangeably, but these are two totally different types of surface patterns.
The term plaid refers to patterns inspired by Scottish “tartan” plaids. Check patterns are much simpler than plaids. Checks are always symmetrical, consisting of crossed horizontal and vertical lines that form equally sized tiles.

4. FLORAL:
The floral pattern consists of flowers or arrangements of flower-inspired motifs. It ranges from tiny to large-scale, realistic to abstract, casual to formal, and colourful to monochromatic. Depending on the style of the floral pattern, you can mix and match florals with just about any other pattern.
Depending on the technique floral pattern may be created by printing or by weaving like in the case of Jamdani fabric. Floral patterns are common in the Jamdani technique where the motif is woven into the fine fabric by the extra weft technique and thus appears to be floating on the sheer textile.
5. GEOMETRIC:
The term "Geometric" is a generic term for any design that incorporates geometric shapes, such as circles, squares, triangles, or ovals. The design might be symmetrical and regular, or quite abstract. Like floral, Geometric patterns are very popular in the Jamdani technique.

7. POLKA DOTS:
The cheerful, familiar polka dot pattern is an evenly spaced array of same-sized dots. It's extremely versatile and works well with most other patterns. A form of geometric pattern, this too can be commonly seen in Jamdani fabrics.

8. ABSTRACT:
Abstract fabric designs are those that lack a concrete motif and subject matter. These designs are often rich in overlapping textures and tones, creating a sophisticated look. The lack of a recognizable motif means they can transition into different interior styles easily. For example, the unique Batik pattern formed by the cracked wax surface or the exclusive Shibori pattern.

Chevron is a pattern of zigzagging stripes, typically in two alternating colours. The herringbone is similar to a chevron but differentiated by the breaks between the zigs and the zags.
