3 July 2012: 

On the Blueprint (page 2 of pattern), under “Finished Dimensions”, for both sizes A1 (A2, A3, A4) and B1 (B2, B3, B4), the sizes should be listed as follows: “Narrow Version w/o mesh extension (Wide Version w/o mesh extension, Narrow Version w/mesh extension, Wide Version w/mesh extension)”. In the erroneous pattern, the two versions in red were accidentally reversed.
