Please explain what do you mean by patterns in this context.
I mean patterns in the traditional sense (e.g. Yahoo! pattern library). Those common, repeatable, reusable components (or tiles) that are present across multiple screens. You create a separate page in your documentation for each one of them. You provide detailed behavior notes for each pattern and the different states (if present).
When the reader comes to the screens that show the patterns, you don't have to provide behavior notes for those patterns, as they've already been provided earlier in the document. Instead, you can use that space for behavior notes about how those different patterns interact with each other, affect the screen, and/or for non-pattern items.
