In a method of forming a pattern, a first mask layer and a first sacrificial layer may be sequentially formed on an object layer. The first sacrificial layer may be partially etched to form a first sacrificial layer pattern. A second sacrificial layer pattern may be formed on the first mask layer. The second sacrificial layer pattern may enclose a sidewall of the first sacrificial layer pattern. The first sacrificial layer pattern may then be removed. The first mask layer may be partially etched using the second sacrificial layer pattern as an etching mask to form a first mask layer pattern. The object layer may be partially etched using the first mask layer pattern as an etching mask.
