There should be at least one place per pattern where it says the sizes next to the lines. They might be quite small. If you can’t find them, you don’t really need them. In the description the sizes for the pattern will be listed somewhere in the beginning – for instance ‘36 to 42’. If you want to cut 36 choose the innermost line, the second line is 38, the third 40, and the furthest out is 42. The lines for the same sizes will have the same ‘look’ on each piece (short dash, dotts on lines etc.)

Did you download it from here? Go back to the ‘pattern’ tap, the little pattern images that first come up have the sizes, at least. As for the rest, it is possible they forgot to put the sizes after all…
