zigzag pattern
Sharp alternating angles
A zigzag pattern consists of sharp angles alternating direction in a series—like the letter Z repeated.
The pattern appears in textiles, architecture, and graphic design: a sweater with a zigzag pattern, the zigzag pattern of the staircase.
Lightning bolts and mountain trails naturally form zigzag patterns.
