Outline the Design
Using a straight pin, push pin or a poker tool, poke holes along the lines of the pattern. Carefully remove pattern; set aside. To make the outline easier to read, connect the dots with a fine-tipped dry erase marker. For complicated or large patterns, work in sections to prevent the marks from rubbing off.
