How to use this pattern
Save the full-resolution chart before you begin. Check the top, bottom, left and right limits against your pegboards, then place beads in small sections. Mark each completed area so you do not skip or repeat a row. Compare the silhouette from a distance before ironing.
Color and placement tips
Start with the darkest outline and the largest solid color areas. Keep similar colors in separate labeled trays, and confirm small facial features or accessories before filling the background. Screen colors and bead batches vary, so use a physical color sample for important matches.
Printing and finishing
Print with the whole image visible and avoid automatic cropping. For large designs, split the work by pegboard while keeping an overlap for alignment. Iron evenly through parchment paper, let the piece cool under a flat weight, and check narrow connections before lifting it.
