About Artkal 58×58 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.
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: Try the pattern with dithering on and off — with Artkal's wide palette, the non-dithered version is often already smooth.

Frequently asked questions
How many beads do I need for a 58×58 Artkal 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 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.
How many Artkal colors should I use?
For 58×58 patterns, 20–30 colors is a good balance. Use the color cap to limit the palette; the maker drops the least-used colors first and remaps those beads to the nearest remaining shade.
