Peacock Petals Shawl

Difficulty: Intermediate ✦✦✦✧✧

Here is a free crochet pattern for a Peacock Petals Shawl that drapes over your shoulders.


For my birthday this year, I splurged on some gorgeous gradient yarn from Melodyy by Wolltraum. One of the yarns in particular had this beautiful gradient from orange to pink making me think of flowers like dahlias and daisies. So, I set out to create a shawl that looked like a flower with its expanding petals. In the end, my "petals" look more like peacock feathers, but I love it anyways!

I am not a fan of shawls with a straight top edge because I can never figure out how to wear them without the shawl bunching up around my neck. This free crochet shawl pattern is shaped to sit nicely on the shoulders without falling off.





For this shawl, I used just under 950m (250g) of 4-ply fingering weight yarn (Wolltraum in the Flower colorway) and a 4mm (G) hook.


My shawl measures 25 inches wide from the center to the point (from orange to pink) and 52 inches long from tip to tip.


This shawl will look best when made with a fingering or sport weight yarn and a 4mm or 5mm hook, respectively.

 

Gauge:

11 stitches in 5 rows of double crochet makes a 2-inch square.

  • Gauge is only important if you are going to use the same gradient yarn since you want the color changes to match up. I finished with about 7.5m (2g) of yarn from a 950m cake.


Note:

When I write "repeat XX times", I intend for you to stitch the sequence in the parentheses or brackets XX times.

  • For instance, "(ch 3, sc) repeat 3 times" means stitch "ch 3, sc" a total of 3 times (i.e. stitch ch 3, sc, ch 3, sc, ch 3, sc).

Blocking


Either steam block or wet block depending on the fiber content (acrylic or natural, respectively) of the yarn you are using.

Find something round (I used a 9-inch dinner plate) and use it to pin the curvature for the ch-3 netting section, then stretch the arms straight and pin. Continue to pin around, pulling out from the center ch-2 space between each petal, ensuring that each petal in a row is about the same size and shape.

I used the recommended yarn. I made a swatch and used a 4 mm hook. The first attempt at the pattern left me short of yarn at row 63. I neither stitch tight or loose. I ripped it out, started over with a 3.5 mm hook but that was too small a hook for the yarn and it rippled. I ripped it out again. I started again with a 3.75 mm hook.


I ran out of yarn at row 69.


I paid for the pattern so I could have the chart. Very disappointed.

I love this pattern! I have worked it twice, and it was so fun both times. I made one as a color block for myself and another with a gradient with mandala yarn for my mother. I usually do not work gauges, and this was no exception. My shawls are both about 30 inches long from the first row to the last, but I don't mind the discrepancy from the pattern.


I honestly would love to keep returning to this pattern, and this site! I am actually entering into my student teaching semester for high school biology, so it was super exciting to find this site!


I am also grateful to you for posting the written pattern because I cannot…

I have a question for row 16. When I do the repeats and stuff I still have 4 ch3 spaces left but I did all the stitches for that row. Even checked the count for row 15 and it’s correct.

Thanks for the response to the venting of my frustration AND special thanks for the info about using wp to make changes. I will try it with word because that is all I have. I never knew that was possible. I have been retired for about 5 years and am no longer as computer savvy as I was before.

Dear PERGALINDA -- I know what you mean about that grey ink. But, I also get that its easiest when posting to get the contrast. However, depending on so many variables, printing from the screen can come out crazy! I have been selecting the pattern on screen, copying, and pasting it into a word processing (wp) document. I happen to prefer a 2 column layout and Lord knows my tired old eyes need larger print. By dropping into a wp document you can then edit it into your favorite typeface, change the color of text, format to what is easiest for you and generally just make yourself happy. I like the 2 column because when folded between the colu…
