I have a pattern that was created using Illustrator's pattern making tool.

I applied it to an object.

I then scaled up the pattern 160%.

When I expand the pattern, it does not expand correctly. See screenshots here:

I am not talking about gaps in my patterns. I am talking about the stroke weight not keeping its appearance when expanded in a pattern.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General, and make sure the Scale Strokes & Effects is selected. By default this is unchecked in Adobe Illustrator.

Now stroke weight will keep its appearance when expand your pattern.

Expand the pattern before applying it an object. It may or may not work to apply it to an object and then expand it (I've seen it work and not work).
