PEACOCK FEATHER WALL HANGING
free crochet pattern
Who will not love a peacock feather with natural beautiful colours , i just simply adore it.
I though i can crochet one and make it as wall hanging in the pooja room door or even use it as a a book mark or side hanging in handbags especially jute bags with matching colours.
The double feather crochet makes a perfect wall hanging best suitable for houses with contemporary decorations . Let me goto the design.
Material Used :
- Crochet hook 2mm
- Crystal beads 4
- Yarn ;Bamboo cotton
- Sewing Needle
This yarn of course has got good shining texture which made the feather more attractive.I can suggest this yarn only for crocheters who are little advanced, beginners can just use Worsted yarn for practice.
