Questions
How do I start “Reef crab”?
Use a 5mm midi pegboard at least 45×35 cells, with a one- or two-cell margin so you can lift the board. Start from a corner or the dark outline and follow the preview above. This chart uses about 761 beads in 4 colors—pick them from the legend on this page.
How do I iron it without melting colors together?
Intermediate neighbors sit closer. Iron the dark outline first, then fill, one small patch at a time. Beads face up, baking paper on top, iron set flat. Wait a few seconds before peeling.
Will this work on Perler, Hama, and common pegboards?
Yes. It is a 5mm midi chart, so Perler, Hama, and common pegboards share the same pitch. Buy beads by the codes on this page, not by a store package name.
What should I follow while I place beads?
Follow the full preview on this page. This is a Pro chart; HD PNG, 1:1 PDF, and board splits export in the Bead Pattern app.
