I was just wondering what the different formats mean? When creating the pdf? (ex: A2 ledger etc) I would like my pattern to print out on as few sheets as possible.

Sherry,

Welcome!

I've alerted Terry (Support) to your message. The different formats are for different sized papers. As for printing on as few sheets as possible, that's a bit more complex and I'll have Terry answer that for you.

Sherry,

Thanks for writing! I'll get back to you shortly with some links to messages that break down sizes and allow you to use fewer pages.

Sherry,

Here are two links that show paper sizes and the number of crochet stitches that fit on each size page. If you're not doing crochet, the exact number that will fit will be different so you'll just have to try them.

Let me know if you have questions and we'll try to help.
