I'm terrible with reducing, so don't want to try to reduce the full-size pattern. Is is OK to just "guess"?
If you have the original pattern and access to a copy machine you can reduce the patern automatically by using the reduction feature. I've used this method for both reducing and enlarging and it works great.
