the most fun one I ever did was circles starting from the center and working my way out.

The neighbors got a kick out of that. Also mowed a big "C" into my neighbors front yard. Their last name started with C. haha.That got some comments too.

My corn rows however are perfectly straight

...I use on of these.

But my yard is so small it doesn't matter.
No real pattern involved, probably looks like I was drunk when I did it.
But, the landlord comes around with a gas mower once in a while (usually when rent is due) and does it a little better.
But, when I own my hose, I'll probably do a different pattern each time.
