Step 1

2x2 carpet shifted (1 tot the right and 1 down) - version of the same 4x4 Sudoku.

Take 4x a digit from the 4x4 Sudoku and add 1x a digit of the same cell from the shifted 4x4 Sudoku and add 1
to each digit to produce a 4x4 panmagic square.
 
 
  4x digit                 +    1x digit                =               +1             = 4x4 panmagic square

Step 2
 
Use the 4x4 panmagic square to produce a 8x8 most perfect (Franklin pan)magic square. You need the 2x2 car-
pet of the 4x4 panmagic square plus an 8x8 Sudoku pattern.
 
Use the 4x4 Sudoku to produce the 8x8 Sudoku pattern. Put next to the 4x4 Sudoku a second 4x4 Sudoku by switching
the left and the right half. Put below the first and the second 4x4 Sudoku a third and a fourth 4x4 Sudoku by switching
the top and the bottom half.

Take 1x a digit from the 2x2 carpet of the 4x4 panmagic square and add 16x a digit of the same cell from the 8x8 Sudoku
pattern to produce a 8x8 most perfect (Franklin pan)magic square.
 
 
  1x digit                                         +      16x digit                             =  8x8 most perfect (Franklin pan)magic

Step 3
 
Use the 8x8 most perfect (Franklin pan)magic square to produce a most perfect 16x16 (Franklin pan)magic square.
You need the 2x2 carpet of the 8x8 most perfect (Franklin pan)magic square plus an 16x16 Sudoku pattern.
 
Use the 8x8 Sudoku pattern to produce the 16x16 Sudoku pattern. Put next to the 8x8 Sudoku pattern a second 8x8
Sudoku pattern by switching the left and the right half. Put below the first and the second 8x8 Sudoku pattern a third
and a fourth 8x8 Sudoku pattern by switching the top and the bottom half.
 
Take 1x a digit from the 2x2 carpet of the 8x8 Franklin panmagic square and add (16 x 4 = ) 64x a digit of the same
cell from the 16x16 Sudoku pattern to produce a most perfect 16x16 (Franklin pan)magic square.
