My pattern reads: *k5 (3), m1. Rep from * around I know I’m working increases but the 3 in ( ) has thrown me off. Wouldn't that me just knitting 15 and then doing M1? Thanks!

Hi Doreen,

Parentheses are used for sizes in general. Is the pattern you are working on now has two sizes by any chance? From what I know, the smallest size is in the front and then move up to the bigger size(s).

Like you said, this could also be k5 x 3 but it doesn't make any sense to me either.

What are you making? Can you send me a link or the pattern that I can look at? I might make more sense to me to read the whole pattern.

Thanks for the question.
Ratcha
