Peacock tail pattern with offset
A very beautiful openwork “fan” that is very popular. Refers to large group“Peacock Tail” patterns, which is very diverse. A characteristic feature of this pattern is the vertical displacement of the pattern-forming fragments. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. From an artistic point of view, this diversifies the pattern, and from a practical point of view, “swells” are formed at the junctions of displaced elements. They can be removed by choosing thicker knitting needles than necessary for a given yarn and “seriously” stretching the finished and wetted fabric vertically. This leads to increased looseness and sparseness of the fabric. In the absence of displacement, this disadvantage disappears.
Perfect for elegant summer clothes with a loose silhouette.
Rapport consists of 16 stitches. +1p. for symmetry. The diagram shows only the front rows; the purl rows are knitted with purl loops. At the end of each row, where only half of the decrease element is present, replace the three loops together with two loops together to avoid loss of loops. 
Beautiful knitted decoration for children's clothing! Crocheting a peacock is very simple. This is a bright and unusual addition to any sweater, knitted dress or tunic.
For knitting, you need to use the natural colors of this bird - blue, yellow, cyan and, of course, a thin crochet hook (2.5 mm).
We start knitting from the breast. Dial 10 air loops, which we then knit with a single crochet stitch.
From the last loop of the row we immediately knit 3 stitches per 1 stitch to make this end rounded. We continue to tie the chain st./s 1 n from below.
Having knitted to the limit, this time we act differently: we finish the row and start a new one from the established mark.
Now “at the turn” from each loop we knit 2 stitches per 1 n (repeat 7-8 times).
In total we knit about 6-7 such semi-oval rows, leaving one end straight.
This flat side will become the place for the formation of the tail, which we first knit with yellow yarn (3 sts/s 2 n from one loop with a skip in one stitch).
The second row of the tail is again occupied by blue yarn, from which this time single crochets are knitted.
The blue thread has to be worked only once and only in the third row of the lush peacock tail. Through one column you should pull out 3 loops at once, alternating them with yarn overs, and then tighten them together. This creates a “tubercle”, which in general should consist of 7-8 loops (including yarn overs).
After each such “tubercle” knit 2 stitches. P.
It is under these loops in the next row that 4 stitches are knitted with 1 n, again making the distance between them 2 in. P.
The tail is again completed by “tubercles” of yellow thread, which are knitted from 2 intermediate chain stitches of the previous row.
We knit the head in a circular stitch, st./s 1 n. We make the beak and crest from air loops.
At the end of each tuft feather we make a circle (connecting the 8th and 5th loops).
