Questions

How do I start “Narwhal on a wave”?

Use a 5mm midi pegboard at least 69×61 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 1958 beads in 9 colors—pick them from the legend on this page.

How do I iron it without melting colors together?

Advanced boards are denser. Iron in zones so adjacent colors do not fuse into one blot. 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 preview on this page. The downloadable PNG adds the English title, a short symbol in each cell, bead codes, and counts, so you can print it and keep it beside the board. HD export, PDF, and board splits are in the app.
