How-To and Use Case Notes

FAQ

What type of pegboard works best for this pattern?

A standard large square interlocking pegboard will work perfectly since the design is vertical and completely connected.

How do I handle the thin spikes on the head?

Be very careful when ironing the outer edges where the single-bead spikes are located. Ensure they fuse well with the surrounding black outline beads so they do not snap off later.
