About Artkal 29×29 patterns
Artkal S-series beads come in a very wide range of colours, which makes them great for photo-realistic patterns and smooth gradients. Codes look like S01 White, S13 Black and so on.
29×29 works well for coasters, magnets, small icons and keychains. The PDF splits the design into one page per 29×29 pegboard with row and column numbers, so you can build it board by board.
Tip: With nearly 200 Artkal S colors available, a color cap of 10–15 keeps small patterns practical to buy.

Frequently asked questions
How many beads do I need for a 29×29 Artkal pattern?
A full 29×29 pattern uses up to 841 beads. The exact number per color is shown in the color list after you generate the pattern, and you can download it as a CSV shopping list. Buy roughly 10% extra to cover lost beads.
How big is a 29×29 bead pattern in real life?
With 5 mm beads it is about 14.5 × 14.5 cm (5.7 × 5.7 in). Beads shrink slightly when ironed, so the final piece may be a little smaller.
Which Artkal color codes does the maker use?
It matches your photo to Artkal colors using CIEDE2000 color difference and shows codes such as S01 White. The RGB values come from the community-maintained beadcolors dataset; real beads can look slightly different from your screen.
Are Artkal S beads the same size as Perler and Hama Midi?
Artkal S beads are 5 mm, the same class as Perler and Hama Midi, so a 29×29 board pattern comes out at a similar size.
