  • 2.5mm crochet hook / Size B-1 or C-2, depending on how tightly you crochet
    • Black and white embroidery floss
    • Fiberfill
    • Stitch markers

    • Large-eyed sewing needle
    • 0.8 to 1mm thick craft wire
    • Superglue
    • Flat pliers (optional)

SIZE:
The peacock’s train of feathers will be about 27 cm/10.5” wide. The peacock will measure 13 cm/5” tall (feet to tip of centre feather).
If you would like him to be larger or smaller, you can use a different yarn weight and adjust the hook size accordingly.

CONSTRUCTION:
The head and body are crocheted in one piece. The beak, wings and train of feathers are sewn on. The eyes and pattern on the feathers are embroidered. The legs and feet are made of craft wire. The tail feathers are reinforced with craft wire.
