This tutorial was made in Adobe Photoshop CS. It can be done in most earlier versions as well or later versions.
It have not made any images because it 's very simple to make patterns and use them.

So, I see you want to learn how to make pixel patterns. Well, you came to the right place! In this tutorial, I will show you how make seamless pixel patterns using Photoshop's Pencil Tool and a little bit of imagination!

The first step is to, obviously, open up Photoshop.

Now, the next step is to create a new document with a transparent background sized 3 px by 3 px.

Once created, we are going to wan't to zoom in all the way so that you can see what you're doing. To do this, simply hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + key repeatedly until it won't let you zoom in anymore. This should be 1600%. You can also use the Zoom Tool (Z), but you should really become acquainted with hotkeys as they save a lot of time and effort .

Because moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse is just
sooooo hard

Now, select the Pencil Tool and set your foreground color to Black, and the background color to White. This can be done by simply pressing D.

Here comes the fun part! Working your way from the lower right hand corner, start drawing your pattern.

Continue to fill the canvas:
Save the patters
Edit > Define Pattern > Call it whatever you want and press "OK".

You're done now! Now when you choose to use a pattern for something, you're new pattern will show up with the rest of them!

Please give some comments and things i can change so it would be much clearly.
