The pattern need not be that special, this page points out that the lug nuts might end up all aligned, because of the use of the tools to tighten them:

So, what happens if we align all the nuts parallel to a single line? This would happen if the nuts were tightened with a tire iron, and the angle of the handle was the same each time. This pattern gives annoying flashes, but it also gives a backwards-drifting pattern which is 6x slower than the wheel RPM
