This pattern uses a 175 × 170 bead grid with 11,188 beads and 16 listed colors. It is marked as Easy difficulty.

How-To: Start by placing the black outline of the circular border and the hand shape. Fill in the red background pixels first, then finish by filling the thumb and hand with white beads.
Use Case: Great for a funny coaster, a desk display piece, or a magnet to show your playful disapproval.

Do I need a special pegboard for this round design?

No, you can easily make this circular pattern on a standard square pegboard.

What is the best way to iron the thin black outlines?

Iron evenly in smooth circles to make sure the outer black border fuses securely to the inner red beads.
