# Beginner Perler Bead Patterns

Short palettes and readable shapes for a first pegboard.

### Who are beginner charts for?

First boards and short palettes. Shapes stay readable and neighbors are less likely to smear. Sort from the detail legend and start at the outline.

### Is beginner the same as small and quick?

No. Beginner is difficulty. Small and quick is size and time. A tiny chart can still be fiddly—read the label on the card.

### How should I iron a first piece?

Beads face up, baking paper on top, medium-low heat, iron set flat. Stop when the edges tack. Wait a few seconds before peeling so light colors do not stretch.

### Do Perler and Hama boards work?

Yes. Beginner charts are still 5mm midi. Free beginner files download as PNG; Pro beginner charts download as PNG here.

### Where do I go after beginner?

Open the intermediate collection. You will get more colors and thinner outlines on the same 5mm pitch.

This is the official original Bead Pattern catalog, not an unlicensed character dump.

Grids are 5mm midi fuse beads. Perler, Hama, and common pegboards can follow them.
