There are many patterns that you can make on a basic 3 by 3 cube and on every other cube. As you can see, in this picture it has a ton of patterns on a lot of different cubes. Scroll down to learn to make some of them and more.
2 by 2
3 by 3
4 by 4
5 by 5
This is the 7 by 7 cube in a cube pattern. You have to do 6 algorithms to get it. (2 algorithms 3 times each)
How to make it: HERE
The cube in a cube pattern looks best on square cubes. I doesn't show it in the pictures, but it has the same pattern on the opposite side. (the same cube in a cube pattern) You can also make it so that there is only 1 cube inside a cube like on the 5 by 5. (shown to the left)
How to make it on the cubes shown: HERE
3 by 3

For how to make the superflip on the 3 by 3, 4 by 4, 5 by 5, and 7 by 7: HERE
This is kind of a super flip. The middle piece is different, but it is still a cool pattern that I think looks kind of like a super flip. You can try to make it.
This pattern is done by just solving the megaminx but putting all the edges in backwards. I am not the biggest fan of this pattern, but it is a superflip.
The checkerboard pattern on the pyraminx looks pretty cool but is also pretty basic. It has a total of exactly 20 moves and then you will have to take the tips off and replace them in different spots. I would not recommend using a diamond cube or a Qiyi cube because the tips are hard to get off. P.S. You need to have your cube solved to make the pattern, if you don't know how to solve it, go to the Pyraminx page and learn to solve it first.
The way to get the checkerboard on the megaminx, is to solve the cube like a checkerboard. (instead of putting white edge pieces with the white center, you put gray edge pieces with it) With the white center, instead of getting the white edge pieces for the cross, you have to get the gray edge pieces for the cross. (Warning: In solving the last side putting the edge pieces in the right spot, you will only be able to get three in. Unless you want to take out your pieces and rearrange them, you won't be able to solve the whole checkerboard.)
You make this pattern by just solving your twist cube into a checkerboard pattern. The same colors go opposite just like the 3 by 3. For example for the white cross you would make the edges yellow.
The checkerboard pattern on the 3 by 3 is like the 5 by 5. It just has less moves. Also like the 5 by 5 you need to have the cube solved to make the pattern. If you don't know how to solve the cube and yours is not solved go to the 3 by 3 page to learn to solve it. You do the moves R2, L2, B2, F2, U2, and D2.
The checkerboard pattern on the 5 by 5 is a easy pattern to make and in my opinion looks very cool. The cube needs to be solved so if you don't have your cube solved and can't solve it go to the 5 by 5 page to learn to solve it. For the 5 by 5 this video has 3 by 3, 4 by 4, 5 by 5, and 7 by 7 checkerboard. You can skip ahead though.
This checkerboard is easy to make and you can figure it out. If not watch the video below. The video below has 3 by 3 4 by 4 5 by 5 and 7 by 7 but the checkerboard for 7 by 7 is at the beginning.
The windmill checkerboard is not very cool, because the white and yellow sides are solved. The other 4 sides are checkerboarded though.
The way I got this checkerboard pattern, is I just solved the cube putting the wrong pieces in each spot so that it makes a checkerboard.
This checkerboard pattern could be solved to make it, or you could watch a video.
This is the 3 by 3 flower pattern is made by doing this algorithm: M, S', M' S. (If you don't know what these moves are, go to the cube notations page on this website and in the first section there will be a link to a website that tells you)
This is the 4 by 4 flower pattern. You make it by doing the same algorithm as the 3 by 3 flower pattern, but you use 2 layers.
This is the 5 by 5 flower pattern. To get it, you do the algorithm from the 3 by 3 but with 3 layers, then do it with 1 layer. (do not rotate the cube in between)
To get the 7 by 7 flower pattern, do the algorithm from the 3 by 3 flower patter (shown above) with 5 layers, then with 3 layers (don't rotate the cube in between), and then with 1 layer. (don't rotate the cube in between)
You just do the PLL algorithm M2, U, M2, U2, M2, U, M2. Then you turn the cube so that the side that was on the bottom is now on top with the same side facing you. You then do the same algorithm from above.
This is the checkerboard pattern on the mastermorphix. It is made just like a checkerboard on the 3 by 3. P.S. It only uses 3 moves! (M2 turn the cube right, M2, rotate the cube in your hand clockwise, M2)
This pattern is made by solving the cube into the 12 star pattern. You just have to know which star color goes with each corner color. I have all the information in this link: Information Link (Please do NOT edit it)
This pattern is done not by solving it like this. (you can though) If you know how to do the superflip, then do that and then you can twist all the centers like on the twist cube. You do this, by holding the center that you want to twist 180 degrees on top. Then you do the algorithm R U R' U 5 times. All the sides look like the green side shown.
This is a pattern that I invented 5/28/20. It is easy to make, and in my opinion, looks cool. You can make this on bigger cubes also. You make the checkerboard pattern and then the flower pattern.
This pattern is made by doing the same algorithm as the regular 3 by 3 checkerboard. Only touch the middle layer. M2, E2, S2.
You are looking at the football pattern. The football pattern is called the football pattern because four sides of the cube look like goal posts on a football field. There is another solved side on the bottom or the opposite of the green side, and the remaining sides are goal posts

I invented this pattern. I made it by just solving my cube like this. Be warned, that if you get the edge parity, the algorithm does move around the pieces in the center, therefore messing up your patterned centers. You just have to find a way to not get parity like I did. I hope you can figure it out!
