Finished Measurements

What it is

Finished measurements describe the dimensions the knitted garment is intended to have after washing and blocking.

How Ruke patterns use it

Ruke patterns use finished bust, length and sleeve measurements to communicate silhouette. These values must be read together with body measurements, gauge and the recommended ease.

When to use it

Use them when choosing a size, checking progress and deciding whether a modification preserves the design.

What to check

Compare the correct size column and confirm whether each measurement is circumference, width or length.

Common mistakes

Choosing by the size label alone, comparing an unwashed piece with blocked measurements, or confusing half-width with circumference.
