- 50 × 50: 73 Color pattern pages in US Letter or 14 in A2. Each PDF includes 1 reference page. The Blank appendix adds 4 pages in US Letter or 1 in A2.
- 70 × 70: 137 Color pattern pages plus 2 reference or index pages in US Letter, or 29 Color pattern pages plus 1 reference page in A2.
Color pattern page counts exclude reference and index pages and any Blank appendix. US Letter and A2 produce the same finished dimensions for the selected size.
Print at 100% / Actual Size with automatic scaling and Fit to Page turned off. Check the scale square before printing the full pattern. A2 requires a compatible printer or print service.
Using an automatic fit setting to print the US Letter PDF on A4 can scale the pattern to about 97.7%, reducing the finished dimensions. Check the scale square to confirm the result.

📐 CHOOSING YOUR SIZE
The 30 × 30-inch version is the most compact and comes with a complete Blank pattern. The larger sizes give you more room within each piece and require more space to lay out and assemble the paper templates, especially when printing on US Letter.
.
🧵 SEWING NOTES
- 30 × 30: small pieces form the eye highlights and nostrils. Use the complete Blank file to see the sewing lines clearly and the Color file to check the adjoining shades of brown.
- 50 × 50: group the 73 US Letter Color pattern pages by section and check the joins as you assemble the paper templates before sewing. A2 reduces the Color pattern to 14 pages.
- 70 × 70: plan extra workspace for sorting and joining the 137 US Letter Color pattern pages before sewing. Use A2 if you have access to it. With 29 Color pattern pages, it takes fewer joins to prepare the paper sections.

📉 RESIZING
For a smaller version, use (Desired size ÷ Purchased pattern size) × 100 to calculate the print percentage. Apply the same percentage to both axes. For example, printing the 50 × 50-inch version at 80% produces a 40 × 40-inch pattern.
Reducing the print scale makes the pieces and printed seam allowances smaller. Check a test print before printing the full pattern. For a larger project, select a larger offered size.
