Making notes
Begin the 23×23 lemon at its three-bead stem and six-bead leaf. Work around the stepped rind before filling the two pale interior roles, then count the seven white beads in three seed marks. Keep the pointed sides and the narrow leaf attachment intact.
This lemon Perler bead pattern depicts a whole fruit with a leafy stem and layered interior instead of a plain yellow disk. The 23×23 editable matrix contains 220 occupied cells across seven source roles, with a low oval body, pale center and stepped peel that reads clearly on a kitchen sign or summer charm.
Build the dark D stem and the six-cell G leaf first, then outline the oval fruit in F. Fill the bright Y peel band, expand the I flesh inward row by row, and place the n pith wedge and seven W seed cells only after the pointed ends and leaf connection have been counted. The fruit body spans rows 6–18 and columns 2–22, while the leaf rises to row 5 and the stem reaches row 4. Preserve the blank triangular corners, the pointed left and right ends, the diagonal pith seam and the three separate W seed marks; do not square off the oval boundary.
Pattern layout and bead count
The 23×23 chart has 220 beads and fits one standard 29×29 square board. Occupied cells span rows 4–18 and columns 2–22, leaving one blank column at each side plus three blank rows above and five below. The asymmetric top margin centers the attached leaf without cropping it. Checkpoints: Rows 4–6: keep the D stem attached to the six-cell G leaf and the upper F peel without filling the blank corners around it. Rows 7–11: follow the widening Y/I fruit bands and the first n pith cells; retain the stepped left and right tips. Rows 9–13: count the three W seed marks at columns 11, 15 and 10; rows 11–12 reach the broadest 21-column span. Rows 16–18: close the lower I flesh and F rind staircase, preserving the three seed marks and reconciling 220 beads.
Ways to customize this pattern
Try a lime or grapefruit palette while keeping the leaf green and the rind, peel, flesh and pith visually distinct. Preserve the existing three seed marks and 23×23 footprint; place a glass or label beside the fruit on a separate tile.
Inner Yellow I carries 104 flesh cells, Brown F provides the 42-cell rind, pale Pith n uses 38 cells, bright Y adds 20 peel accents, White W uses seven beads across three seed marks, Green G forms the six-cell leaf and Dark D supplies the three-cell stem. Keep the similar yellow roles separate when sorting and switching Brands.
Print and iron checklist
The leaf, stem and pointed peel ends have far less support than the broad I center. Fuse the dense fruit first, make brief passes across the D/G top attachment and Y tips, and cool the oval flat so the narrow stem does not twist or pull the leaf away. Before export, verify the 23×23 coordinates, 220-bead total and all 7 active color roles against the on-page material list.
Project ideas for Lemon
Use the fruit for a lemonade-stand sign, kitchen label, summer party card, drink charm or repeating picnic border. Support the dense center when mounting, and keep any glass, text or additional leaves on separate tiles so the pointed peel and single leaf remain the readable subject.
The source grid uses I 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.
