I had a couple of requests for a different version of the first free pattern so here it is. It’s a bit bigger (cos big is beautiful) and the colors are just black and white. As always, if you have any feedback about free patterns I’d love to hear it. Do you like them? How are you using them? What kind of free patterns would you like to see in the future?

Back to this pattern… It’s a seamless vector pattern that you can download for free. It’s fully editable so you can tweak it to fit with your designs. The download contains an EPS file that you can load into Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop (or whatever you use for editing vectors). I’ve also included a png in the download so you can just go ahead and use that if vectors are too scary :)
