Materials Needed
148 beads total · 5 colorsBackground: Detective Pikachu
Detective Pikachu is the tea-loving, deerstalker-wearing, talking Pikachu from the 2016 game and 2019 film. This themed pattern dresses the mascot in that iconic hat, making it the most character-specific variant in the series and a fun display piece for Pokémon collectors.
Design Notes: 16×20 Pixel Composition
The hat is the focal point — a brown crown with a white band and two side flaps framing the face. Below it, the standard Pikachu cues (yellow head, black eyes, red cheeks) sit on a tapered body with small feet. Hard difficulty: the hat's shape and the taller 16×20 footprint call for patient color blocking and a bigger pegboard.

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