If you go to WHSmiths, you can buy an A4 magnifying sheet, which will lay over your pattern and will make the print easier to read.

 

With regard to patterns, try Atkinsons, as they have stocks of patterns in, or even better, the Wool Baa at hunters bar will more than likely have such a pattern amongst the wonders they sell there.

Ravelry have some free downloadable aran patterns in larger sizes, on some of them you may be able to increase the font size before you print them off.

These for instance are free
