Every chart below is available as a printable PDF at no cost - see the \[free printable perler bead pattern library\](https://perlerbeadpatterns.org/), which also includes a browser-based bead editor if you want to draw your own on a grid. The single most requested design here is \[the Stitch perler bead pattern\](https://perlerbeadpatterns.org/stitch), so it gets its own chart with a full colour key. If none of these charts fit, \[the perler bead pattern maker\](https://perlerbeadpatterns.org/pattern-maker) turns your own image into a bead grid. Grid sizes below assume standard midi (5mm) beads on a square pegboard. Bead counts are approximate - outline thickness changes them by 10-15 percent. ## Items ### 1. [Stitch (classic)](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/0/stitch-classic) Item ID: `0` - Grid size: 40 - Bead count: 964 - Colours: 8 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: The most-requested chart on the list. Full-body sitting pose; blue-to-navy shading needs the darker outline or the ears lose shape. ### 2. [Stitch hug](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/1/stitch-hug) Item ID: `1` - Grid size: 43 - Bead count: 1,168 - Colours: 12 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Two-figure hug pose. 12 colours is the jump in difficulty here, not the grid size. ### 3. [Stitch with flower crown](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/2/stitch-with-flower-crown) Item ID: `2` - Grid size: 64 - Bead count: 2,898 - Colours: 22 - Difficulty: Hard - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Biggest chart on the list at nearly 2,900 beads. Budget four standard pegboards and sort the 22 colours before you start. ### 4. [Pikachu](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/3/pikachu) Item ID: `3` - Grid size: 24 - Bead count: 230 - Colours: 8 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Fits one square pegboard. Good first character chart - the cheek circles are the only fiddly part. ### 5. [Poke Ball (mini)](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/4/poke-ball-mini) Item ID: `4` - Grid size: 7 - Bead count: 24 - Colours: 5 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: 24 beads. Genuinely a five-minute make; useful for keyrings and magnets. ### 6. [Charmander](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/5/charmander) Item ID: `5` - Grid size: 24 - Bead count: 419 - Colours: 12 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Same 24x24 footprint as Pikachu but nearly double the beads - the flame gradient eats colours. ### 7. [Jigglypuff](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/6/jigglypuff) Item ID: `6` - Grid size: 24 - Bead count: 237 - Colours: 7 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Lowest colour count of the Pokemon set. Pink-on-pink shading is subtle; check your bead brand has two pinks. ### 8. [Gengar](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/7/gengar) Item ID: `7` - Grid size: 24 - Bead count: 447 - Colours: 7 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Dark purple body reads badly under warm lighting - iron on the reverse side to keep the sheen even. ### 9. [Poke Ball](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/8/poke-ball) Item ID: `8` - Grid size: 24 - Bead count: 256 - Colours: 8 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: The full-size version. Clean circle edges make it a good practice chart for outlines. ### 10. [Shiba](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/9/shiba) Item ID: `9` - Grid size: 46 - Bead count: 1,024 - Colours: 12 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Cream and tan sit close together; separate the two before you fill the body or you will lose the face markings. ### 11. [Border collie](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/10/border-collie) Item ID: `10` - Grid size: 51 - Bead count: 1,009 - Colours: 7 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Black-and-white portrait, only 7 colours despite the size. Highest contrast chart here. ### 12. [Husky](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/11/husky) Item ID: `11` - Grid size: 51 - Bead count: 1,013 - Colours: 8 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Same footprint as the border collie. Grey shading needs three greys to read as fur rather than a flat block. ### 13. [Orange cat](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/12/orange-cat) Item ID: `12` - Grid size: 33 - Bead count: 653 - Colours: 8 - Difficulty: Medium - Board fit: Multi-board - Notes: Mid-size chart. Stripe placement matters more than colour choice - count rows before filling. ### 14. [Mushroom](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/13/mushroom) Item ID: `13` - Grid size: 6 - Bead count: 9 - Colours: 2 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Nine beads, two colours. The chart to hand a child who wants to start immediately. ### 15. [Boba tea](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/14/boba-tea) Item ID: `14` - Grid size: 10 - Bead count: 56 - Colours: 3 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Small food chart. Reads well at keyring scale; the pearls need the darkest brown you own. ### 16. [Minecraft Steve](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/15/minecraft-steve) Item ID: `15` - Grid size: 8 - Bead count: 32 - Colours: 4 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Classic pixel head. Four colours, single board, very forgiving. ### 17. [Mickey Mouse](https://listium.com/@marar/146632/free-printable-perler-bead-patterns/16/mickey-mouse) Item ID: `16` - Grid size: 11 - Bead count: 29 - Colours: 2 - Difficulty: Easy - Board fit: Single-board - Notes: Silhouette only - two colours. Wider than tall, so check pegboard orientation first.
