Tunie is a wonderful friend who lives in Australia and is the proud mom of a number of peacocks. She helped me out with a special project and this pattern is just my small way of thanking her from the bottom of my heart. Hugs times infinity Tunie!!
Size: approximately 8" X 8 ¼ ".
Materials: One skein of worsted weight cotton in a solid color, approximately 98 yards. The cloth pictured was done in Peaches & Crème in Peacock (what else??).
Needles: U.S. Size 6/4.0mm or 5/3.75mm Because this is a “picture” cloth, you want your fabric to be fairly dense so the design will pop out. If you are a loose knitter, then you might want to drop down a needle size.
Gauge: 4.5 sts. per inch, not critical.
Abbreviations:
k = knit
p = purl
sts. = stitches

Thanks so VERY much for honoring our peacocks and our friendship with this lovely surprise pattern.
I know I will make many of these and always use them with a smile.
Hugs times infinity--xx Tunie
