Description: Now you can be a Peacock Girl! Nine feather motifs join to make this airy shawl, reminiscent of those noble birds that we all admire. Starting with the border, this shawl is quickly worked on large needles, so you’ll be strutting your stuff in no time. And here’s a little trivia… a group of peacocks is called an “ostentation.” So if anyone ever tells a Peacock Girl that she looks ostentatious, her proper reply is, “Thank You!”

About the Yarn:

Sock-aholic® Serene is dyed by hand at Knitters Brewing Company using a wonderfully soft 4-ply Luxury Sock Yarn made from 50% FS Alpaca, 30% Fine Merino, and 20% Tencel. Each skein contains 470 yards, and knits at a gauge of 7-9 stitches per inch using size 1-2 needles. This yarn is fabulous for warm yet lightweight garments, and its softness makes it a pleasure to handle and wear.

Washing Instructions: Hand washing in cool water is recommended to prolong the life of any hand-knit or hand-crocheted item. Roll in a towel to remove excess water (do not twist or wring), and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
