BEGINNER PATTERN

Full Arc pony bead pattern

Full Arc is all about concentric bands. Each band is four to six beads thick, so you get satisfying long runs of each color and the switch points line up in clean radial steps.

The clouds are simple white clusters you can place by eye, and the pale sky background fills everything else. Seven colors is the most in the beginner set, but each color only ever appears in one band, so it never feels crowded.
