cross pattern
Plus-shaped motif repeated
A cross pattern is an arrangement forming intersecting lines, typically at right angles like a plus sign or X shape.
In sports, especially football, a cross pattern is a receiver route that cuts horizontally across the field: He ran a cross pattern over the middle and caught the pass in stride.
The term appears in various technical contexts—tile layouts, knitting, physical therapy exercises—wherever elements intersect to form crosses.
