Making notes
Use the two eye positions, square nose, and tongue as expression checks after filling the tan face. Preserve the single blank bottom row and do not mirror the ear details automatically.
A broad tan puppy face uses a true chocolate outline, floppy ears, eight black facial cells and a three-bead pink tongue; its warm fill no longer renders as brick red. The editable 20×20 result contains 273 occupied cells across 4 source roles.
Frame the drooping ears and crown with chocolate before filling the tan forehead. Position eyes, nose and tongue last, then audit the widest cheek row and the single blank lower padding row. Use row 6, the fullest row at 20 occupied positions, as a horizontal recount anchor. The mouth accents are sparse compared with the 165-cell tan field. A shifted nose or tongue changes the expression, and neither ear should be copied automatically from its opposite. Occupied bounds run from row 1 to row 19 and column 1 to column 20.
Pattern layout and bead count
The occupied motif measures 20×19 and is normalized to 20×20 with 1 bottom. No occupied cell is cropped, scaled, mirrored or moved. The 273-bead chart fits one standard 29×29 square pegboard. This framing protects the canine muzzle geometry. Checkpoints: First occupied row 1: c C8–C13. Confirm the canine muzzle entry point. Fullest row 6 contains 20 occupied cells; compare its complete left-to-right sequence before fusing. Use it as the canine muzzle span audit. Rarest role Pink Tongue occurs 3 times at R14C9, R14C10, R14C11. Recheck this role beside the canine muzzle landmark. Padding audit: 1 bottom; active bounds are R1–R19 and C1–C20. The canine muzzle boundary must remain inside those limits.
Ways to customize this pattern
For an alternate edition, recolor Chocolate Outline, Tan Fur, Black Features, Pink Tongue as separate value roles while leaving every occupied coordinate and 20×20 normalization unchanged. Keep the silhouette-specific landmarks and rare accents distinct at thumbnail size.
Sort the source roles as 97 Chocolate Outline, 165 Tan Fur, 8 Black Features, 3 Pink Tongue. Keep Pink Tongue distinct even though it contributes only 3 cells; Brand remapping should preserve the same light-to-dark hierarchy and never merge an occupied role with background.
Print and iron checklist
Broad cheeks can over-melt before the ear ends and tongue attach. Rotate the sheet between gentle passes, protect the black openings, and allow the muzzle to set under weight. Inspect narrow joints from the reverse before mounting or exporting a replacement chart. Before export, verify the 20×20 coordinates, 273-bead total and all 4 active color roles against the on-page material list.
Project ideas for Happy Puppy
The rounded head is practical for a veterinary-clinic kindness token, puppy-party favor or cubby badge. A felt back can cover the broad edge without hiding the dangling ear profile. Keep labels, dates and explanatory text on a separate backing so the approved silhouette stays unchanged.
The source grid uses H and the other design symbols only as internal color roles. The interactive chart replaces them with the selected manufacturer codes, while its material list combines any roles that map to the same bead color.
