Any cognition you make out of unawareness, which comes back to you again and again in some form or the other, is a pattern or samskara. A cognition is any idea, perception, understanding, opinion or statements you create inside yourself.
If you look in, you will see that your life is nothing but a bunch of patterns. From waking up in the morning to working in office to meeting people to going to sleep, most of your actions are pre-programmed ! There is very little space for Life to happen to you spontaneously, because you start defining the boundaries of your life with your patterns.
For example, if you feel you lose your patience very quickly, that is a pattern. If you feel you have stage fear, that is also a pattern. If you feel you always fail in everything you do, that is also a pattern. Anything that stops you from expanding and making progress in the inner world or the outer world, is a pattern.
