you do not say "pattern" in Russian:)
It is a word that famously can't be translated. In specific contexts it can be substituted with a close-bu-different idea.
Узор - is "ornament". Not exactly patternt. Also орнамент.
Закономерность - an yet unexplained regularity in events or data.
E.g. "each time I do X happens Y" or "when a certain author uses a word X, he soon uses a word Y".

It depends on the meaning, so if it is in the meaning of
1. way - модель [madel'], образец [abrazets]
2. design - узор [uzor], рисунок [risunak]
3. shape - шаблон [shablon]

It really depends on the area of knowledge or context. It might be модель, образец and even паттерн, a literally copy of the english word.

It really depends on the context.
Pattern as a template is "шаблон".
Pattern as an ornament is "узор" or "рисунок".
Pattern as a rule or law is "закономерность" or "закон".
Pattern as a sample or example is "образец" or "пример".
Also, in modern psychology, pattern is often symply transliterated as "паттерн".

Cesar, "pattern" is a word whose absense Russians can suffer from themselves. When you read about science in English, you find this word quite useful - but often yous see no way to translate it:/
