BEGINNER PATTERN
True Heart pony bead pattern
True Heart is the smallest pattern in the starter set, and the go-to gift project. The silhouette is a single coral region with one pink highlight square near the shoulder, which reads as a glint without any complicated shading.
Because the outline curves steeply at the bottom point, this is also the best pattern for practicing how to keep edges smooth when a row loses several beads at once.
