If the 1" square is in fact 1" square then you know that the pattern is the right size.<br /><br />You cut along the fold line, then with your fabric folded in half you place the fold line on the pattern along the fold line of your fabric.

Do you know the dimensions of the square (I am guessing it is a square based on the photo.) When I looked at the pic it appeared to be 8 1/2 inches? Is the length 11 inches? A full sheet of paper? Thank you so much for posting this! I purchased an ERGO yesterday and have been looking online for soaker pads. Etsy has some cute ones but I didn't want to pay shipping and couldn't find one I loved.
