: How to change the width of a pattern brush in Illustrator? The upper right orange balloon is the result of applying a pattern brush that I want to achieve. Although it has anchor points

@Merenda852

Pattern brushes are susceptible to the Width tool (Shift+W). Select this tool and drag over your stroke to add a width point and change the width of the brush there.

If you add three width points, you should be able to achieve what you want: one width point on the anchor that makes the stroke real thin, and one on each side of the anchor, a bit removed, to reset the stroke to its default width.
