Royal Peacock

Introducing a beautiful and versatile shawl knitting pattern that combines elegance with an enjoyable crafting experience! This stunning shawl is expertly knit in three easy steps, starting with the eye-catching middle stripe featuring delicate feather motifs, which is worked sideways for a unique design. Once the middle stripe is complete, you'll pick up stitches along the sides to create the top and bottom portions of the shawl, resulting in a cohesive and stylish accessory.

Techniques You'll Master: This pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques including garter stitch, slipped stitches, short rows, and both decreases and increases, making it perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills while creating something beautiful.

Materials Required: To successfully complete this shawl, you will need a total of 200 grams (approximately 750-800 meters) of fingering weight yarn. The yarn requirements are approximately: 70 grams for the Main Color (MC) - shown in a pristine white; 60 grams for Color C, which represents the stunning feathers (depicted in a vibrant blue-green variegation); 40 grams for Color A, used for the wedges (a semi-solid blue); and 35 grams for Color B, which adorns both the top of the shawl and the bottom border (illustrated in three beautiful shades of blue). Feel free to experiment with solid, gradient, or sectional yarns for colors C and B. However, the Main Color (MC) must be solid, while Color A can be any style of yarn, excluding self-striping options.

This shawl is a perfect project for those looking to showcase their creativity while producing a striking and functional piece. Whether you wear it on a cozy evening out or drape it over your shoulders on a chilly day, this shawl will become an essential addition to your wardrobe. So gather your materials, and let's embark on this delightful knitting journey together!
