Understanding Sizes in Brackets
Sizes in brackets place the instructions for several garment sizes on the same pattern line.
What it is
Sizes in brackets place the instructions for several garment sizes on the same pattern line.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke patterns list size-dependent cast-ons, measurements and stitch counts in a fixed order. Once a size is chosen, its number position must remain the same from materials through finishing.
Pattern notation examples
- Row 9 (RS) Sl1, k5 (7) 8, 2pm, k6 (8) 8, only for size L: k2togL, k1.
When to use it
Use this page before highlighting or extracting the instructions for the selected size.
What to check
Check the size order at the beginning of the pattern and verify it again in measurement tables and stitch totals.
Common mistakes
Following the visual middle number instead of the selected size position or mixing garment and body measurements.
