5 Amazing Rubik's Cube Patterns You Need to Try

TLDRLearn how to create 5 cool patterns on a Rubik's Cube, including checkerboard, donuts, zigzag, cube in a cube, and twin peaks.

Key insights

🔲Creating a checkerboard pattern on a Rubik's Cube is the easiest and gives a visually appealing effect.

🍩Switching all the center pieces of a Rubik's Cube creates a donut pattern, which is simple yet interesting.

The zigzag pattern is created by a series of rotations and can be extended to create a wire pattern.

🔺Cube in a cube is a complex pattern with a smaller cube inside a larger one, achieved by a sequence of moves.

⛰️Twin peaks pattern resembles two mountain peaks on the Rubik's Cube and requires careful moves to achieve.

Q&A

Are these patterns applicable to other types of cubes?

Yes, most of these patterns can be created on other types of cubes, but they look best on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube.

How do I undo these patterns?

To undo these patterns, simply repeat the sequence of moves in reverse order.

Can I use these patterns for solving the Rubik's Cube?

These patterns are mainly for display purposes and do not contribute to solving the Rubik's Cube.

Are there more advanced patterns than these?

Yes, there are many more complex patterns that can be created on a Rubik's Cube, requiring more intricate algorithms.
