100+ Free Repeating Herringbone Pattern Backgrounds
The herringbone pattern is a distinctive V-shaped or a zigzag weaving pattern usually found in twill fabric. It is also popular as a floor pattern both for wood and concrete pavements. Herringbone pattern differs from plain chevron patterns by the break at reversal, which makes it resemble a broken zigzag. The pattern is called herringbone because it resembles the skeleton of a herring fish. In the chevron, the blocks run point to point and the ends are cut at an angle to create a continuous zigzag design. With herringbone, the blocks finish perpendicular to each other, resulting in a broken zigzag.
In web and print design, herringbone patterns are popular as a website background or as background for printed materials like invitation cards, brochures, flyers, among other things.
