“that pattern” is a woven pattern. The reason carbon fiber has that pattern is because it is woven.

By having carbon fibers running 90 degrees to one another and having them switch back and forth top-bottom the fibers become decently ‘entangled’. This is a good way to make ‘fabric’ sheets of fiber that can then have resin added to make them tougher and distribute the load.
