Here we have 38 plaid patterns from Yarnspirations for you to choose from.

If you want to dig a little deeper, a plaid design is made up of two or more colors criss-crossing each other at right angles. You see plaids in fabric every day, and they’re a classic look. Tartans are plaids that have a specific name and are associated with a Scottish clan or another group. Checks can be a special type of plaid, but not all plaids are checks.
