German term or phrase: "Rechts-Links-Struktur"
Aus einer Kollektionsbeschreibung:

"Bei diesem impression-Thema spielen Strukturen eine besondere Rolle. Neben **Rechts-Links-Strukturen** werden auch Argyles neu interpretiert."

Wie würdet Ihr "Rechts-Links-Strukturen" übersetzen?

Noch eine allgemeine Frage: Generell habe ich Struktur im Englischen mit texture übersetzt
(Bspw. in
"Basics aus hochwertigen Materialien werden kombiniert mit trendigen Musterungen und variantenreichen Strukturen." ... versatile textures

"Klassiker, wie Westen, Cardigans und Pullover bestechen durch neue Strukturen und raffinierte Details."

...with new textures

Ist das okay?

Vielen Dank schon einmal!

Explanation:
I don't think texture fits too well here. Patterns maybe or perhaps someone has a better idea.

Basket weave pattern is also very effective. (6 plain 6 purl repeated) for 6 rows then alternate – 6 purl 6 plain for 6 rows. Pattern courtesy of Sheryll ...
