Pattern Details

This pattern uses a 75 × 51 bead grid with 2,368 beads and 19 listed colors. It is marked as Medium difficulty.

How-To and Use Case Notes

How-To: Start building from the bottom water layer to establish the base width. Use a large square pegboard. Be careful when counting the checkerboard pattern on the dragon's body, and use tweezers for the tiny facial pixels. Iron carefully around the thin oars so they don't break off.
Use Case: Great as a festive summer decoration, a unique desk display piece, or a gift for cultural holiday celebrations.

FAQ

What is the best way to handle the thin oar parts?

The oars extend outward and are quite thin. Make sure to fuse the beads thoroughly during ironing so these fragile areas stay securely attached to the main boat structure.

Do I need a specialized pegboard for this pattern?

A standard large square interlocking pegboard will work perfectly, as the design extends horizontally but fits well within regular grid dimensions.
