  • Instant Access: Download your files immediately after purchase.
  • What’s Included: A “Tiled” Print-at-Home file (A4/US Letter), a large-format A0 file, and a digital instruction booklet.

Easy-to-Follow Sizing

Our patterns are designed for maximum clarity, regardless of how you print them:

  • Color-Coded: Each size has its own distinct color for easy tracing.
  • Unique Line Styles: Sizes also feature different markings (dots, dashes, or solid lines). This ensures you can easily identify your size even if printing in black and white.

Printing Your PDF Pattern

  • No Taping Required: Use the included A0 file to print on one large sheet.

  • International: Visit any local commercial printer or use an online “Plan Printing” service.
  • Setup: Use a standard A4 or US Letter printer. Set your printer to “Actual Size” or “100% Scale” (never “Fit to Page”).
  • The Test Square: Print the first page only and measure the 10cm x 10cm test square with a ruler to ensure accuracy before printing the rest.
  • Assembly: Simply trim the borders and tape the tiles together using the numbered grid.
