Medium • 44x53
A girl in a lilac beret hugging a cream-and-brown cat plush, with long wavy hair and a pale blue dress. 44x53 pegs and 2332 beads in 14 colors — that is every peg on the chart, with no empty cells at all, so it fuses into a solid rectangular panel rather than a cut-out silhouette. Bead the cat's face first — it sits dead center, and everything else lines up around it.
Hard • 44x49
A girl with a honey-blonde bob and a blunt fringe, in a white puff-sleeve top with gray fabric folds. 44x49 pegs and 1633 beads in 17 colors. The head fills most of the chart but the features do not: the eyes, blush and mouth are a handful of beads each, and they have to land exactly where the chart puts them — that detail work, not the size, is what makes it hard.
Hard • 49x64
A blonde girl with her hair in twin buns under a wide peach bow, in a matching off-shoulder top. 49x64 pegs and 2189 beads in 17 colors, built from four blondes for the hair plus peach and dusty rose for the fabric. Lay down the black outline of the bow and the two buns first; the hair shading fills inward from there.
Medium • 59x66
A long-haired girl turning to look back, a black ribbon tied at her temple and a black top against warm blonde hair. 59x66 pegs and 2881 beads across a multi-board layout. The 18 colors crowd into the beige-and-rose range, so separate the skin, hair and shadow tones into labeled cups before the first bead goes down. Large enough to frame rather than hang on a keyring.
Hard • 48x67
A girl with long black hair and a white lace bow, one hand lifted to her collar over a white blouse. 48x67 pegs and 2447 beads in 19 colors — but nearly two thirds of the beads are black or near-black, and the whole chart lives on the contrast between that dark mass and the pale skin and blouse. A tall portrait meant for a frame.
Hard • 31x43
A long-haired girl in a red dress with matching hair bows, holding a small white cat plush. At 31x43 pegs and 924 beads it is the smallest of these portraits, yet it uses 20 colors, several of them fewer than ten times each. Count rows carefully — at this scale one bead out of place is visible in the face.
Hard • 61x102
A full-length girl in a yellow bear-print pinafore over a blue gingham top, with a pink hair bow, striped socks, yellow boots and a little bear bag on her arm. At 61x102 pegs and 3753 beads it is one of the largest charts in the library, and its 27 colors are among the widest palettes too. It spans several pegboards, so plan the seams before you start, then work down from the hair bow.
Medium • 49x52
Guan Yu, the Three Kingdoms general, drawn in chibi proportions — red face, long black beard, green hooded robe and a curved blade held low. 49x52 pegs and 1332 beads in only 7 colors, so most of the chart is big flat fields of green and red inside a heavy black outline. The quickest of the three Three Kingdoms charts to bead.
Medium • 52x52
Zhao Yun, the Three Kingdoms general, in chibi form: pale blue plate armor, a plumed helmet, a cape behind him and a long spear standing at his side. 52x52 pegs and 1747 beads in 10 colors, three of which are blues that carry all of the armor shading — keep those three apart or the plates flatten out. Pairs with the Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang charts.
