I have posterazor and rapid resizer.  They both are easy to use.

Just click on these they will take you to the download sites and then just download them the POSTERAZOR one is easy to work I don't know much about the Rapid Resizer I have never worked with it.

I use rapid resizer a lot!  It is easy to work with and will automatically print out your pattern whatever size you want it, over as many sheets as are necessary with hash marks to make alignment of the sheets easy.  I actually did a search for the product, found a website offering it on sale, emailed the author and he matched the price for me so I saved a few bucks.  There is a trial version available on their website and I would try that first.
