I would print out the original pattern then follow these directions: Use the following formula if the size you want is not on the table above:
BLOCK SIZE WANTED (divided by) CURRENT BLOCK SIZE = PERCENT TO ENLARGE OR REDUCE
Example:
To enlarge: Size you want = 12" and Current size = 4"
12/4=3 (answer times 100 = 300%)
To reduce: Size you want = 7" and Current size = 12"
7/12=.58 (answer times 100 = 58%)
Hope this helps.

Usually you can just type in the # you want...yes it automatically has some 100% or 150%.... but you should be able to put the exact % in.
Do you mean that your pattern didn't print out to size or do you mean that you want it larger than the original pattern?
