套 almost looks like a tall building to me, so it helps me to remember that it is the measure word for apartment in 一套公寓。

If you turn your head to the right, it looks like a ‘set’ of cutlery! It could be a fork/spoon and a pair of chopsticks on a tablecloth.

Imagine a big child (大) wrapping a smaller child (子) in a snug cover—just like a set or sleeve (套). It’s a cozy visual to remember the meaning.
