 Tashi here from Start of School Crochet. This week's Stitch Explorer tutorial is called the Peacock Stitch. This stitch is really beautiful. It has a lot of fan, it's like a little fan's coming out, kind of looks like a peacock tail. And it's a simple pattern with only two stitches, so that's great for a beginner to learn how to do the treble stitch. So I'm using a 4.5 millimeter hook and ship is in the colorway of 8.15 and it works in multiples of 10. Plus 1 is what the pattern calls for, but for some reason I seem to be a little bit off and maybe it was just me, but maybe you want to try with multiples of 10 plus 2, just to see if that helps. You can see if you guys ran into the same problem I did. Alright guys, full pattern is written on my blog and let's get started. To start we're going to do a chain of 20. So you start off with a slipknot and then chain 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. So I've got 20, any multiple of 10 plus 1. So I'm going to add one more, so I'll have a total of 21 chains. So to start off the row 1 we're going to work a single crochet into the second chain from the hook here. Then we're going to skip four chains, that's 1, 2, 3 and 4 and we're going to work nine trebles into the fifth chain. So nine, a treble is your yarn over twice, insert your hook into the stitch, grab and pull up, you'll have four on your hook, yarn over, pull through two, yarn over and pull through two until you have just one loop on your hook. And you repeat that nine times into the same chain, which is quite a bit. So pause the video and we'll come back after we finish our nine. Say there's our nine. The next step is to skip four chains and then we'll single crochet into the next chain. So because this kind of bunch of things up a little bit, make sure you actually get your your chain isn't hiding. So it looks like this is going to be my next chain even though that one kind of looks like it is. So I'm going to skip one, two, three and four and then we're single crochet into the fifth one. Then you're going to skip four, one, two, three and four and work nine trebles into that next one. Okay so I've come to the end here and as you can see by looking at it, it looks like I just have four stitches left but the pattern calls to skip four and single crochet into the last one. But like I said before, don't get a little confused because when you do these nine trebles it really pulls the chain. So actually my fourth one is right there. So go ahead and skip those four chains, one, two, three and four and then single crochet into the last. Like that. There we have two little shells or peacocks. So for row two what we're going to do first is chain four, turn your work and then we're going to treble into the very first stitch. No fail, somebody's going to run a power tool while I'm doing my tutorials. Lord have mercy. Okay so after you do your treble, these are actually going to count as two trebles and you'll see throughout the pattern you're going to chain three and then we're going to skip four of our trebles. One, two, three and four and we're going to work a single crochet into the fifth one. Then we chain three, skip four, trebles, one, two, three and four and then this single crochet here we're going to work two trebles. So it kind of raises it up to the level of the rest of the shells and after we do that we're going to chain three, skip four trebles, one, two, three and four and then work a single into the top of the fifth treble. Then you're going to chain three, skip the four, one, two, three and four and then we're going to work two trebles into that last single crochet. Oops, I don't think I yarned over twice. So there we have our one. Got to do one more. There we go. So that's the end of our row two. This is going to be the beginning of our repeat. So we're going to repeat rows two and three. So we just finished row two and now we'll move on to row three. So chain one, turn for row three. We're going to single crochet, oh into the chain space between the two trebles. So go in between the two and chain our main single crochet and then we're going to skip the three chain and work nine trebles into this single crochet on top of the other set of trebles. So let's pause the video here and then create your nine because the trebles take a long time. I've completed the nine and after we complete the nine we're going to work a single crochet into the center of the trebles and then go straight over, skip the chain three and work nine more into the center of that single crochet. Now we're at the end and we're going to work a single crochet into the between the treble and the churning chain here like that. So that's our row three completed. So what you do here after this is you just repeat rows two and row three until you reach your desired height. So it's a really easy pattern and it creates a nice little peacock fan look to it.
