It depends what you are talking about! 'Complex' implies a certain level of difficulty, either to create or to understand the pattern. 'Intricate' might refer to the appearance of the pattern.

It's not a good idea to choose phases based on "most widely used". This just limits your English progress.
As Su.Ki. has written, "complex" suggests some difficulty. A complex pattern would not be easy to comprehend immediately. "Intricate" suggests precision and detail. These words aren't exactly the same.

The difference is subtle. "Complex" is a simpler and more everyday word and applies to more situations.
To me, "complex" means having many different parts or elements, and, as a result being difficult to understand.
To me, "intricate" suggests a really huge number of tiny and beautifully worked details.
It's all opinion, but to me, a linkage like this

is "complex," because it's hard to understand how the parts move in relationship to each other, but it's not "intricate," because the parts are large and simple and I could build one out of cardboard in half an hour.
On the other hand, the scrollwork on currency, like this:

is "intricate" because I would need to use a magnifying glass to see the details. Many might say it's both "intricate" and "complex. On the other hand, I feel it isn't very "complex" because it isn't hard to understand--it's just a decorative frame."
