Pattern Instruction Checklist

How Pattern Instruction Checklist Works?

The Pattern Instruction Checklist works by counting Completed Steps toward Total Steps. Break the pattern into numbered steps and tick off each one with a tap.

1. 1

   Number the steps

   Number each pattern line or block, such as 1 cast on, 2 rib 12 rows, 3 increase row.

2. 2

   Set the total

   Press → to set Total Steps.

3. 3

   Tick off each step

   Tap the count pad or press Space when a step is done.

4. 4

   Find the next step

   The next step is Completed Steps + 1.

Pattern Instruction Checklist Formula

The Pattern Instruction Checklist formula is next step = completed steps + 1 and progress = completed ÷ total × 100.

Next step

Next = C + 1

C is Completed Steps.

Progress

P = C ÷ T × 100

T is Total Steps.

Steps per session

Rate = steps ÷ sessions

Rate helps plan the finish.

Worked example: A pattern of 36 steps with 27 done is 75% complete, and step 28 comes next.
