Snowman Perler Bead Pattern

A friendly snowman with a black top hat, a striped red scarf, a carrot nose and twig arms, sized for one 29x29 square board. White beads make up most of the body, so a pale blue outline is used to separate the snowman from the background and to give the round shapes a clean edge. Three black buttons run down the front. The pattern uses only a handful of colours, which makes it a nice choice for classrooms and holiday craft tables.

Not yet test-fused. This is an original pattern designed on screen; it has not been ironed and photographed yet. Perler is the palette the pattern was drawn in. Hama and Artkal codes are automatic nearest-colour matches (CIEDE2000), not official conversions.
