Peacock Feather Stole
I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience
’Peacock feather’ stole is a slanted rectangle (which makes it easy to both knit and wear; it can double as a scarf and a shawl!)
The pattern is highly customizable (you can even call it a recipe). It gives you lots of freedom to play with the shawl width / length and print placement.
It is knit from the short side on the bias, so throughout the whole project you keep a constant number of stitches on the needles, by increasing 1 stitch on the right, and decreasing 1 on the left in every 2nd row.
Yarn: you will need two yarns of similar weight. This pattern is a recipe, so the final yardage and size of the stole will depend on your yarn choice, and how many repeats of the print you make width- and length-wise. The pattern gives directions for two standard options, written as Option 1 (Option 2).
Needles:
The size of the needles depends on the selected yarn, how tight you knit and your preferred fabric drape.
You will need a pair of main size you choose + 0.5 mm/ size thicker ones to create stretchier cast-on and bind-off edges.
The pattern page here lists needles & gauge for fingering weight.
Techniques
- Classic long-tail cast-on and classic bind-off
- Knit front & back (KFB) - 1 st increase
- Purl 2 stitches together (p2tog) - 1 st decrease
- German short rows
- Carrying yarn to manage frequent color changes
- Reading charts (optional)

If you would like to complement your shawl with a matching hat, I would encourage you to look into these 3 beautiful designs by Woolly Wormhead (and her Ravelry store in general, if you are a fan of short-row prints or accessories!) and choose the one you like best!
