I found this really cool sock pattern and I really want to try it but I’m a little confused with the increase pattern that is below, along with the link to the pattern itself. I just need some help understanding the increase pattern because of the brakets that just have a number ( in bold).
Work increases:
Round 1: [B]K1[0, 1], [/B]p1[0, 1], (k3, p1) [B]3[4, 4] times[/B], k1, yo, p1, yo, k1, (p1, k3) 3[4, 4] times, p1[0, 1], k1[0, 1], p1; repeat once more to end of round. 68[76, 84] sts.
Round 2: K1[0, 1], p1[0, 1], (k3, p1) 3[4, 4] times, k2, p1, k2, (p1, k3) 3[4, 4] times, p1[0, 1], k1[0, 1], p1; repeat once more to end of round.
Round 3: K1[0, 1], p1[0, 1], (k3, p1) 3[4, 4] times, k2, yo, p1, yo, k2, (p1, k3) 3[4, 4] times, p1[0, 1], k1[0, 1], p1; repeat once more to end of round. 72[80, 88] sts.
