You can use solution from this article http://mark-dot-net.blogspot.com/2007/06/creating-hatched-patterned-brush-in-wpf.html

<VisualBrush
  x:Key="HatchBrush"
  TileMode="Tile" Viewport="0,0,10,10"
  ViewportUnits="Absolute" Viewbox="0,0,10,10"   
  ViewboxUnits="Absolute">
  <VisualBrush.Visual>
    <Canvas>
       <Rectangle Fill="Azure" Width="10" Height="10" />
       <Path Stroke="Purple" Data="M 0 0 l 10 10" />
    </Canvas>
  </VisualBrush.Visual>
</VisualBrush>

Just change the parameters etc. to fit your application

Usage:

<Rectangle Width="80" Height="40"
    Fill="{StaticResource HatchBrush}"/>
