This type of pattern could be solved creating a 3D curve (Helix) and patterning datum point on the curve,as I have explained below

I'm not exactly sure if this will help but when I was making my Baseball I made the path first and did a patern along path. That way you can just draw a 3D sketch where you want your pattern to go.
