This is a half-circle arch of six bands, each four beads thick, that fills exactly two 29×29 pegboards side by side. The seam runs down the middle of the chart, so each board holds one mirror-image half with 641 beads. Sort the six colors first, then build board A1 and board A2 one band at a time from the outside in, starting with Red. The bands are all four beads thick, so count across a band instead of bead by bead. Because the two halves meet only along the seam, plan how you will join the finished pieces before you iron.
