Colors and details to keep

Keep 80-19059 (12 beads), 80-19001 (13 beads) in this chart. These are full-pattern quantities; the close-up legends count only their windows.

Size and use

At a nominal 5 mm bead pitch, the occupied outline plans 11.5 x 13.0 cm. This excludes outer blank cells and is not a measured fused-object size.

The arm ends are stepped into the body. Use the complete outline when laying the arms, rather than extending the cuffs from the detail window.

Pattern FAQ

Do the two coral buttons need to join the bow?

No. Each button is a single cell below the bow. Brown body cells separate the three details.
