In this step-by-step crochet tutorial I show how to make the peacock crochet stitch. For this stitch you should know how to make a single and a treble crochet. It is quite easy to make and it is suitable for beginners. The peacock crochet stitch is a repeat of two rows. The fabric turns out light.
For this tutorial I use Soft FRAYA Cotton 8/4 100% Organic cotton 50g – 180 m yarn, color: blue agave, and a 2.0 mm hook.
