Nancy, if you hold down Ctrl and press the + button, that should enlarge everything on your monitor.

I love the pattern , but I wish you would have a place where you can enlarge the print. It's very hard for an old person to read such small print. Nancy

Hi, Nancy. If you hold down your control key (Ctrl) and then press the + key (next to the backspace), you can enlarge the content on your screen. Conversely, you could also copy and paste the pattern into a Word document and increase the font size. Hope this helps! --Editors of AllFreeCrochet
