The peacock eye circles

Round 1.














Round 2
Start with a sc in any dc. 2 sc in next dc, *1 sc in next dc, 2 sc in next dc*. Repeat *-* all around. Slst in 1st sc to close this round.
Total of 24 sc.

Round 2.














Weave in the ends. I recommend not weaving in the end of the magic ring just yet. Later on you will be making the peacock eyes stitches in the center opening and it would be nice if you could still tighten the ring a bit after you’ve done that.


Joining the peacock eye circles
The necklace in the tutorial pictures has a total of 24 circles: 11 on each side and 2 that dangle. Lay the circles out and start with a sc in any sc of the 1st circle, 1 sc in each of the next 11 sc = total of 12 sc on one side of the 1st circle,
ch 3,
sc in any sc of the 2nd circle, 1 sc in each of the next 11 sc = total of 12 sc on one side of the 2nd circle,
ch 3 and join the 3rd circle; continue in the same way until you have joined the first 12 circles (11 + 1 dangling circle) on one side. The first 3 pictures show this.

 Start joining the circles at the top left-hand side.

12 circles (11 + 1st dangling circle) have been joined on one side.

12 sc on one side of the 1st circle, ch 3, 12 sc on one side of the 2nd circle and ch 3.

Join the 2nd dangling circle: 
24 sc (= 1 sc in each sc) around the circle, ch 3, 12 sc on the other side of the 1st dangling circle, ch 3, join the remaining 11 circles.

11 circles on the right-hand side all joined on one side.

Close the necklace by attaching both strings of circles at the top: 
end with ch 3 and then insert hook from back to front in very first circle and in same stitch you made first sc in and work 1 sc. 
Cut yarn.

The join with 1 sc. Now you are going to join the other sides of the circles.

Start in the last circle you’ve just joined to the first one: 
12 sc along the side, ch 3, 12 sc along the side of the next circle. Work your way down to the 2 dangling circles.

All the circles on the right-hand side have been joined on 2 sides up to the 2 dangling ones.

ch 3 on the last circle, which will now be joined to the first dangling circle by working 1 sc in the same stitch as the one you made the last sc in (see next picture).

free crochet pattern peacock feather necklace jewelry thecuriocraftsroom the curio crafts room
The joins to the dangling circles: 
ch 3, sc in same stitch as last sc made in 1st dangling circle, sc in sc next to that (=same stitch you made the first sc in)
ch 3, 12 sc along the side of the next circle and work your way up to the top. 

free crochet pattern peacock feather necklace jewelry thecuriocraftsroom the curio crafts room
The other join at the top: 
ch 3 and then insert hook from back to front in opposite circle and in same stitch you made first sc in and work 1 sc. 

Cut yarn and weave in all ends.

Peacock Eye Stitches in the Center
With a tapestry needle work 6 stitches into the center to create the peacock eye. A 40 cm / 16 inch thread is long enough for 6 stitches including ends. Start 3 sc from the middle and work over rounds 2 and 1 into the center opening. Weave in the ends.

Blocking
To block the necklace, you can use Styrofoam and pins, but you could also put a towel on your ironing board and pin the necklace onto that. Spray with some water and let it dry for about 12 hours

  3. Hi Michelle, For the longest necklace you would need approximately 100 meters of mercerized cotton.

  9. I love this design!!! I made it during the Holy Week and I can't wait to wear it to the beach this summer. I'm still blocking it now and am thinking of putting a felt backing when it's done.

  12. Pawnshops primarily make loans in return for high interest payments. But they also do a brisk business by selling abandoned products and items on defaulted loans, and as such they are generally sold at a much lower cost than retail prices. watch repair scottsdale
