This is basically the same question as I asked recently, but about Illustrator, instead of Photoshop.

Let's say I already have a seamless pattern. For example this one: enter image description here

I'd like to quickly repeat it 4 times.

So the result would be:

(pardon for scaling) enter image description here

Is there any automated way to do this in Illustrator, instead of resizing the workspace then copying and placing it three more times?

Drag the artwork the Swatch Panel and it will create a pattern.

Double-click the swatch in the Swatch Panel to bring up the Pattern Editor in order to refine if necessary.

I believe you may find your answer on the SuperUser resource. I did a quick search of Matrix copy Illustrator and picked the top search result.

Effectively, you're telling the program to duplicate the object a certain number of times along x and a certain number of times along y, with appropriate spacing to accomplish your objective.
