Hi Klynne,

If you want to create a pattern from one of the shape tools (custom shape tool, rectangle, rounded, etc), then draw out the shape, then go to:

1. Window > Paths
2. Ctrl+Click on the "Work Path"
3. You will now have a selection, create a new layer and fill it in with black

Now you can can define as a pattern.
