Repetition Brackets

Definition

Symbols like ( ), [ ], and * * used in patterns to indicate repeated sections. Always confirm whether a pattern uses UK or US terminology before starting. Swatch to verify gauge, then adjust hook size or tension to achieve the desired fabric and fit. Check the abbreviation key, read special notes, and inspect examples to understand the technique clearly.

Examples

  • Repeat from * to * three times.

  • Work bracketed instructions across the row.
