Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Colors & Technique: Jiji Cat
What makes the Jiji Cat chart manageable is color blocking: the 10Γ12 grid resolves into 3 clearly separated zones, led by deep dark Black. Lay each zone in beads first, then step back and check the borders β misaligned color boundaries are the most common flaw at this scale, and they are far easier to fix before ironing. Total build time lands around 10-20 minutes; difficulty is rated easy across 105 beads.
Where It Shines
Where does the Jiji Cat pattern fit in a real collection? Its 10Γ12 footprint and 105-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The deep dark lead color and 3-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other anime designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
