Six Degrees of Origami Tessellation
At first glance this tessellation might not look very unusual, but it's somewhat different in subtle ways.
It begins pretty typically, with open back hexagons. But the rhombuses that twist off of them kind of go in the opposite direction than what you'd normally see. It's this deviation that creates the lines when I add the additional shape of open back triangle twists.
Personally, I find it to be an interesting variation.
It's not hard to do. I'd say it's an intermediate level tessellation.
When you look at the opposite side you can see the hexagsons and triangles quite clearly. You can also see the long parallelograms that form in the remaining spaces.
It's not a very complex design, but it's an interesting one still the same.
My crease pattern is below.
