Hey guys,
I've got a hole in my ceiling from an old light fixture that i want to patch. I've never worked with textures before. Can anyone give me some tips on how to recreate this type of texture?

hi
did you cover the light fixture hole?
If you did simply get some drywall compound and applied it with a putty knife and flaten it to look like the pattern you have now on the ceilling.
then used a wet sponge and work the pattern smooth like you have now
hope this helps
