Proud as a Peacock is a deep triangular shawl that can be made with only one skein of lace yarn This shawl is crocheted from the neck down, and can be adjusted very easily depending on the amount of yarn you have. As with all my other patterns, this pattern comes with row-by-row written direction in US crochet term and charts.

Suggested yarn and yardage needed:
Any lace yarn. See table on last photo for yardage needed.
I used Rendezvous Silky Lace 50% Merino wool/50% Silk.
For 1 skein shawl, I used Sleeping Beauty colorway 1 skein (100g, 800 yards).
For 2 skeins shawl, I used Emerald colorway 2 skeins (200 g, 1600 yards).
Note: Although I give approximate yardage for each sizes, you can adjust the size easily depend on the yardage you have by reduce or increase the total number of repeats.

Gauge: The first 9 rows, you will get 28 cm (11”) wingspan and 13 (5.1”) deep. This measurement is after blocking. And every additional repeat of rows 10 - 15 you add 5.5 cm (2.2”).

Finished Sizes (in blocking board):
Small (1 skein): 176 cm (69.3”) across top edge, 84 cm (33.1”) depth.
Medium (2 skeins): 226 cm (89”) across top edge, 107 cm (42.1”) depth.
Large (3 skeins): 282 cm (111”) across top edge, 135 cm (53.1”) depth.

Hook: 3.50 mm (US).
Adjust hook size accordingly if you use thinner/thicker yarn.

Notion: Removable stitch markers, size 8 Beads (optional). See table on last photo for the number of beads needed.
Note:
Option 1 and option 2 are using same amount of beads, but for option 1 you use larger beads for the last row.
Option 3 if you only want to use beads on last row only (you can use size 6 or 8).
