"As plans for this book began to take shape, several people asked how we would include the pattern for making a kilt. The remarkable thing about a kilt, though, is that it requires no pattern!"
Traditional kiltmakers never used patterns and patterns therefore did not exist. There's no such thing a pattern for a traditional kilt.
Each kilt is unique, the number and width of pleats and indeed all the proportions calculated for that kilt based on the measurements taken from the individual the kilt is made for.
