Plan size and pegboards

Canvas width ≈ 40.0 cm (estimated from bead diameter)

Estimated from bead diameter. Measure peg spacing to confirm; fusing changes the finished size.

Board & measured peg spacing (advanced)

Measure from the first to the last of 11 consecutive peg centers, then divide by 10. Without a measurement, sizes are estimates and PDFs cannot be used as board overlays.

Rectangular canvas capacity only. Use identical board models; matching grid counts do not prove that boards connect.

Colors & chart

Deep outline
