Overview

Peacock is currently in stock and is priced at $7.25.

Holli Yeoh (the designer) discovered that this lovely Estonian lace pattern is a great match for self-patterning yarns. With the Peacock stitch and the yarn, the scalloped stripes just pop out. It makes for a beautiful look. This is a simple introduction to lace knitting and it's sized from preemies to 4 yr. olds so you're sure to find someone for whom you can knit it.
