Body Measurements
Body measurements describe the wearer, while finished measurements describe the knitted garment.
What it is
Body measurements describe the wearer, while finished measurements describe the knitted garment.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke sizing decisions begin with the body and then add or subtract ease to create the intended silhouette. Accurate measurements protect the time invested in a wearable, long-lasting garment.
When to use it
Use them before choosing a size or modifying width and length.
What to check
Measure over the intended base layer, keep the tape level and compare the same measurement points used by the pattern.
Common mistakes
Pulling the tape tight, measuring a favourite garment as if it were the body, or mixing centimetres and inches.
