But there has to be more than one pattern?

Since the diatonic major (and minor) scale has 7 notes, there are a total possible 7 fretboard patterns.

I cover them as the 7 modes of the major scale in this tutorial.

I also cover diatonic major scales across the fretboard in various patterns here.

And diatonic minor scales here.

See if those are what you are after! Ask more if necessary & best of success!
