PatternBolt
Patternbolt is a fine selection of SVG pattern background, packed in a single or SCSS (or CSS ) file.
The pattern is added in a "after" element and your original element still be inalterate and ready for manipulations. As they are vectors they never pixelate, not even on 4k screens.
The pattern selection still be under development, to see the showcase, visit the demo page

Contributions and pull requests are always welcome.
If you are a Designer you can vote and submit new patterns joining the public Trello Board. Contact me by twitter or email to request to be added as member of the board.
##SCSS version
The Scss version is the main one, it's the more advanced one and its pattern library is always up-to-date.
To use it you can follow the instruction commented directly in the Scss file.
Basically you can call the whole Patternbolt Scss file in your project with an @import or just copy all its lines into your main Scss file. To insert a pattern use the related mixin, as in the examples below.
Sass variables
{String} $pattern - pattern name, it's also the name of the class
{Number} $background-size [200px] - width/height of pattern
{Color} $background-color [#000] - hex value of background color
{Color} $foreground-color [#fff] - hex value of foreground color (the SVG)
{Number} $opacity [1] - opacity, from 0 to 1
{String} $mask [none] - value 'mask' if the pattern has to be used as covering mask over an image
Sass Mixin
basic scss mixin
