Of course I'm happy to help :) I think the easiest thing to do is to try to use the Print Friendly button - when you click it and the window pops up, you'll see a box at the top that has a percentage next to the words "Text Size" - go ahead and click the arrow next to the percentage and choose a larger percentage. That should make everything big enough to read. You can also click on any page element you don't like to get rid of it. For instance, if you don't want to print all of the pictures, you can just click them and they'll go away. From there you can either print to a printer or a pdf, and the pattern should be a good size!Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-68026213858241184182014-12-03T06:24:15.081-08:002014-12-03T06:24:15.081-08:00Could you explain to me how to print in PDF.

I have never done any magic loop knitting myself, but from what I understand (that you use a longer circular needle to knit smaller circular items), I see no reason why it wouldn't work for this particular hat! :)Gretchen Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720728303685051589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6683194221069775925.post-21547423078791210832014-11-21T11:56:47.717-08:002014-11-21T11:56:47.717-08:00Hi love the pattern!
