Here it is! My first free crochet pattern, the French Mini Peacock Feather (you can read why it is called "French" in my previous post).
In my Ravelry and Etsy shops you can purchase a PDF version of this pattern.
The advantages of the PDF version are:
- Clear layout with instructions in bullet-point format
- Stitch Chart
- Close up photos
- Similar graphic design as all of my other PDF patterns
- You support my work so that I can continue to publish free patterns and offer discount codes
Thank you!

PATTERN
BaseYarn A (Scheepjes Catona 257)
Start
with a magic ring, which I like best because with a magic ring you can very
neatly determine how large (or small) you would like the opening to be.
If you
find it hard to make a magic ring, start with chain 6 and then form a ring by
slip stitching into the first chain made.
Magic ring. |
Round 1
Ch 1 on top of the magic ring chain (=1st hdc) and work in the ring: 2 hdc, 5 dc, 1 trc, 5 dc, 3 hdc
slst in top ch of 1st hdc to close this round.
NB: If you started with ch 6 to form a ring, you start with ch 2 for your 1st hdc.
Total of 17 stitches.
