Hi,

To Expand it Select the Object and go Object> Expand or Expand Appearence.

To make a pattern, select any pattern and go Object> Pattern> Make.

Here are some tips on creating patterns that may help you also:

Thank you for answering. I try to expand it and untick the rectangle. It become as the picture below.

And I try to enlarge it as the white rectangle above. It become as below the pic.

The result looks different. Thank you.

Whislt your increasing the size hold down shift, this will keep everything in proportion.

Double click the Scale tool.

You will see an option to scale the pattern or scale only the object (or both).
