Hello Kitty is a fictional character created by Sanrio in 1974, designed by Yuko Shimizu. Despite her cat-like appearance, Sanrio officially describes her as a little girl named Kitty White who lives in London. Her simple design β a white oval head, black dot eyes, a yellow nose, no mouth, and a signature red bow β has made her one of the most recognizable characters in the world, appearing on over 50,000 products across 130 countries.
Design Notes: 12Γ12 Pixel Composition
This 12Γ12 grid (96 beads) uses 5 colors: white for the face and ears, black for the outline and eyes, red for the iconic bow, yellow for the nose, and light pink for subtle cheek blush. The rounded oval head shape is achieved through stair-stepped pixel curves, while the red bow sits prominently on the left ear. A quick, satisfying project for fans of kawaii culture.

Ironing Tips

- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
