Applying a pattern overlay as a gradient ? Photoshop CS

[Brizzles]

Am i missing something very simple ?

I have created pattern overlays to form diagonal/horizontal/vertical lines and grids.

What i want is to use these as gradient overlays.

I.e black lines or grids ( with transparent backgrounds) fading from left to right , top to bottom etc..

Can anyone help me ?

Cheers,

Mark
