Crocheting isn’t just for making practical things. Sometimes, it’s also about bringing majestic creatures to life. Regal the Peacock by Hooked by Kati is a pattern that does just that! With its detailed design and elegant feathers, this project tests your skills while letting you create a stunning piece of art.
Best Yarn Choices for Bright Results
To capture a peacock’s rich colors, choosing the right yarn is key. The pattern suggests Red Heart With Love, a 100% acrylic, worsted-weight yarn in vibrant shades like Peacock (deep blue), Lettuce (green), and Iced Aqua (pale blue). You will also need some additional colors like Light Grey, Black, Warm Brown, and White.
Techniques Used for Making Peacock Amigurumi
Making this crochet peacock amigurumi pattern means mastering several intermediate crochet techniques, including shaping and sewing.
The loop stitch adds a realistic texture to the tail feathers, which are crafted individually, fringed, and attached to move naturally. Working on both sides of a chain and stitching with the mattress stitch ensures smooth assembly.
Finished Peacock Size
Regal the Peacock is designed to be a standout centerpiece. When done with suggested materials, it stands 11 inches tall, and its tail stretches 18 inches from beak to feather tips. This generous size makes it perfect for a home display, a unique gift, or even an artistic touch to an event.
