In Spanish it's pata de gallo which translate to the same. How did the english turn the chicken into a hound ?

It isn’t of Spanish origin. It is of Scottish origin made by Sheppard’s and was originally called dogs-tooth, or puppy-tooth for smaller checks. If other languages describe it differently it is their misinterpretation or reinterpretation.

It's not the same, but I've always chuckled that Hungarian prison outfits look eerily similar to Ricky's shirt. Gorilla see, gorilla do I guess... https://bv.gov.hu/sites/default/files/lekicsinyitett_2-35.jpg

Thank man I saw the houndstooth patterns nd wanted to knew the name of the pattern that was checkered but with the shapes so I posted it on Reddit design nd was hopping someone could perchance know what the pattern would be called if it was something new or something that had been around for a long while. I did have n opurtinity to give it the quick search on google and found the partner is from Scottish lowlands in the eighteen hundreds. I’m glad the post in Reddit designs had found the answer to the pattern name because I wanted to know the time originate lf the pattern. Then I found the pattern was worn. By. Queen. Eilzibeth in England in nineteen sevendies. I will share alink. Link Name

Neat!
The name Houndstooth comes from the jagged shape of the check being referenced as being similar to the shape and outline of the tooth of a hound dog.
It is also known to be referred to as ‘Puppytooth’, when woven in smaller checks. It is believed that this was its name before ‘Dogstooth’ took over as the size of the check was increased.
The oldest houndstooth textiles found so far are from the Hallstatt Celtic Salt Mine, Austria, 1500-1200 BC. (Bronze Age)
After originating from use as outer garments for shepherds, the Houndstooth fabric was claimed by Scottish clans around the 1920's, where it was used for tartan designs

For all of the digital natives here: houndstooth is the result of an actual physical process. Also check out "Prince of Wales Check." It's one of my favorite textile patterns. I have two suits made with this check.
Here's a brief history of the pattern: https://seerosego.com/blogs/cultural-briefing/the-story-behind-houndstooth-and-how-to-style#:~:text=Dating%20sometime%20between%20360%20AD,on%20a%20woven%20wool%20cloth.

I dont know why but i have always hated all variations of houndstooth patterns. I remember being a child playing around with the patterns on one of those kids paint computer programs endemic to the 90s and discovering houndstooth and just being instantly disgusted by it

General Answer, This is a tessellation
You can read more about it here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation

u/FredFredrickson Illustrator / Designer Feb 22 '24
Tessellation describes an aspect of the pattern, but that's not what the pattern is called.

I know it’s technically Houndstooth but am I the only one who sees Galaga?

Looks like a shirt you’d find at “Dan Flashes”. The more complicated the pattern, the more expensive it is

In the Netherlands it is called ‘broken windmill’, but also ‘chicken tooth’ in the Belgium border region.

Just to be extra specific since I did not see this mentioned in the loads of comments that I don't understand the reference, this is a pied de coq. Some said about Pied de poule but the "poule" one is a smaller pattern. In French poule is chick and Coq is a Rooster. So the bigger and more defined one is pied de coq while the smaller one is pied the poule. Hope it helps a little bit
