Get one of the mowers that follows a wire and then embed the wire under the grass in the pattern you want.

I remember seeing one of these where a guy would mow outside a pattern at one height, then adjust the height of the mower and mow the inside of the pattern so the grass was longer, giving him a noticeable pattern. Can't find a link at the moment though.

OP is going to be outside for a while depending on the level of precision of that particular "pattern"...

This is pretty much set by the width of the mower blades - so not a practical issue.

Isn't it bad for the lawn to mow in a fixed pattern?

No. I often mow my lawn in a pattern to produce nice stripes. It's also commonly done on sports stadium grass. A pattern (if chosen for efficiency) can actually reduce the wear of riding/pushing a lawn mower over the grass by minimizing the number of passes needed over a given patch of grass.

Wouldn't that also be the most efficient pattern possible? No portion of the lawn would ever be cut twice.

On the other hand, hilbert curves seem to have a lot of right-angle corners, which maybe would slow the mower.
