How to use it
- Print both pages of the PDF at the same size.
- Find square A1 on the reference.
- Copy just the lines in that square into A1 on the blank grid.
- Work across the squares until the candy cane appears, then add stripes.
Tip: Lightly tick off each square on the reference as you finish it, so nobody loses their place.
