What patterns did you use for these? And if you use crochet patterns, do you have a way of matching beads to dmc floss colors or do you just match by sight?

I made most of the patterns myself. I have a beading program that has all the bead colors in it for different brands. I didn't even know there were crochet patterns for these! I tend to match by sight or by what available. (For example is super hard to get good dark purple beads! )

Is there any way you could post them? I'd like to try my hand at these bigger key patterns.

Sorry I worked many many hours on these and am selling them in my shop. I may release them at a later date, but am not quite willing to give up my work for free just yet. Hope you understand.

Totally understand. You have an etsy shop?

Do you ever have problems with circular patterns, like a pokeball being longer than it is wide even though it's the same amount of beads each way

No... can't say that I have.

Must be something faulty with the beads I purchase from a bead shop in my town.

It is just a different seed bead, they come in different shapes. The most common in stores is oval so your projects will end up longer than wide whereas these are more square. Japanese Miyuki Delica seed beads are usually used for projects like this.

That's the type of beads I buy from my supplier. Delica size 11
