Cat Perler Bead Patterns

Choose a kitty and hit “Make chart →”. The maker outputs a color-coded grid with per-color counts. The tricky bits — ear tips, nose, whiskers — are already mapped to nearby Perler colors, so you just follow the grid.

Cats look best with a fur base + a touch of blush: cream body with pink cheeks; black-and-white for a cow cat; two shades of gray for a misty cat. Colors are pre-mapped to real Perler colors, and the bead list tells you exactly what to buy. The default size makes an adorable keychain or magnet.

Keep the ears, cheeks and tail visible, use a simple background, preserve main coat markings before fur texture, and choose the grid size for a charm or magnet.

Upload a cat photo for a custom chart. If the photo is busy or dark, run it through AI photo-to-cartoon first for a clean cartoon cat that’s easier to bead.
