rep
Repeat
Description
A standard pattern instruction indicating that a specific sequence of stitches, rows, or rounds must be worked again.
Detailed explanation
This command keeps patterns concise by indicating that a sequence of stitches repeats. It generally appears with asterisks (), brackets [], or parentheses () to define the section. For example, ‘rep from ’ directs you to return to the last asterisk and work that sequence again for the required number of times or until the row ends.
Repeat
Description
Instruction to work a specific sequence of stitches, rows, or rounds again, often marked by special symbols like asterisks.
Detailed explanation
Patterns use this abbreviation to condense instructions, requiring you to perform a set of steps more than once. It typically directs you to return to a specific point, such as an asterisk or the beginning of a row sequence, to duplicate the work. This method creates recurring textures, ribbing, and patterned fabrics efficiently.
