About Hama 58×58 patterns

Hama is a Danish brand that is especially popular in the UK and Europe. This maker uses the Hama Midi (5 mm) color range, with codes like H01 White and H18 Black, so the colour list matches the numbers on Hama tubs and bags.

58×58 works well for portraits of pets, flowers, logos and wall decorations. 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: Use the board-by-board PDF and tick off each page as you go — it keeps a four-board build organised.

How to make a bead pattern from a photo

  1. Upload a picture. Choose a photo or drawing (JPG, PNG, WebP). It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
  2. Pick your beads and board. Select Perler, Hama Midi or Artkal S, the pegboard size (29×29 pegs is standard) and how many boards wide and tall the pattern should be.
  3. Adjust colors. Limit the number of colors, use only the colors you own, enable dithering for smooth gradients and tweak brightness, contrast and saturation.
  4. Export and build. Download the PNG, the printable PDF with one page per pegboard, and the bead count list (CSV) to use as a shopping list.

Frequently asked questions

How many beads do I need for a 58×58 Hama pattern?

A full 58×58 pattern uses up to 3,364 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 58×58 bead pattern in real life?

With 5 mm beads it is about 29 × 29 cm (11.4 × 11.4 in). Beads shrink slightly when ironed, so the final piece may be a little smaller.

Which Hama color codes does the maker use?

It matches your photo to Hama colors using CIEDE2000 color difference and shows codes such as H01 White. The RGB values come from the community-maintained beadcolors dataset; real beads can look slightly different from your screen.

Can I use the pattern with Perler or Artkal beads instead?

Yes — switch the brand in the maker and the pattern is re-matched to that brand's colors. Different brands have different shades, so always regenerate rather than swapping beads by eye.
