Case contract

Table US->mm: 0 2.0, 1 2.25, 2 2.75, 3 3.25, 4 3.5, 5 3.75, 6 4.0, 7 4.5, 8 5.0, 9 5.5, 10 6.0, 10.5 6.5, 11 8.0, 13 9.0, 15 10.0. "us->mm": trim, "10 1/2" means "10.5", exact match or "error: size". "mm->us": nearest size within 0.5 mm inclusive, ties to the larger mm, else "error: size". Other directions -> "error: direction".

Why this case matters

Patterns list needle sizes in US or metric and knitters convert between them.
