This week the workshop set sail for four very different worlds: a bit of seafaring adventure, the tennis court, some of the world’s great monuments, and the colors of autumn. Plenty to choose from, whatever the age or mood at home!
Our 4 New Patterns This Week
We start with a captain’s spyglass on the hunt for treasure: its golden rings and flared eyepiece make it a great way to practice working with long, narrow shapes. Next up is a tennis racket ready to serve, with a blue frame and paler strings that are easy to follow on the grid. Then it’s off to New York with a Statue of Liberty, torch held high — a slightly more demanding pattern, but so satisfying once it’s done. And finally, a cozy scarecrow with arms wide open and a straw hat, ready to welcome autumn to the garden and the house alike. Four complete patterns, each with a printable grid, a counted bead list and a difficulty level, are just below.

Picking the Right Pattern
For a first try with a child, I always suggest starting with a beginner-level pattern that uses just a few colors on a standard square pegboard — the tennis racket or the pirate spyglass are perfect for that. Once the technique feels natural, the Statue of Liberty or the scarecrow let you move on to slightly bigger grids with more shades and detail to place. And remember: every pattern page already lists the level, the pegboard size and the estimated time, so there’s no guessing before you start.
More From Our Catalog
If you still have a little time, here are a few classics worth another look: a swallow in flight, a sweet cotton candy treat, a striped little zebra and a red rose for flower lovers. A nice way to mix things up and maybe build a little gallery of finished pieces to hang together on a wall or bedroom door.

Going Further
Feeling adventurous on the high seas? Our catalog keeps growing with pirate-themed patterns to complete today’s spyglass with a whole crew. And to make the most of the season’s colors, browse our autumn patterns too, perfect alongside today’s scarecrow for a complete fall display.
As always, every pattern page tells you which pegboard to use, the difficulty level, and exactly how many beads of each color you’ll need — no counting required. Just place the beads, iron with a sheet of baking paper between the iron and the pegboard, then let it cool completely before peeling it off: one simple step for a nice, flat piece ready to hang or gift. Happy crafting, and see you soon for more ideas!
