How to make this pattern
- Prepare Blue/white/black beads, rectangular pegboard area.
- Open the editable maker and choose the 26×18 grid with its 5-color palette.
- Place the border and larger color blocks first, then use the color legend to complete small details.
- Open the printable export after signing in to download the numbered PDF, PNG, CSV, or editable project file.
Making and ironing notes
- Place the outline first, then fill the larger color blocks. That makes the shape easy to correct before ironing.
- Use a flat surface and let the fused piece cool completely before moving it or adding a backing.
- For a group craft, print the color list and assign one color bowl per table. The numbered grid makes hand-off between makers easier.
