Birds are different every time, exact reproduction is not possible. depends on the hook, threads ... Yes, even from the same threads, it turns out differently for me. Now I will give a description of this peacock
Here is the pattern I knitted
Description:
1st row - 6SBN, 1PS, 1VP. ( air loops knitted for lifting so that the product does not narrow)
2nd row - 6SBN, 2PS in one loop of the previous row, i.e. knit two half-columns from one loop, VP. Attention, start knitting each new row, inserting the hook into the third loop from the hook, counting the loop that is on the hook. this, as I said, is done to lift so that the product does not taper towards the top
3rd row - 7SBN, 3PS in one loop, VP. there are 10 columns in total.
4th row - 9 sc, 2ps in the last loop, VP \u003d 11 columns
5 row - 11 RLS, VP
6 row - 9СБН, knit the tenth and eleventh loop together with one RLS = 10 columns
7 row - Pay attention! in the 6th row, I did not knit the VP at the end. And from the 7th row I knit the first loop, into the third loop of the base. She began to shrink her body. -7SC, 8th and 9th loop together with a single crochet = 8 stitches
8 row- 5СБН, 6th-7th loop together = 6 columns
9 row - 3СБН, 2 loops together with one СБН = 4 columns
10th row - 3СБН, VP
11 row -3СБН, VP
12 row from each loop, knit 2 PS, VP \u003d 6 columns. It was we who began to shape the head
13 row - 5 columns with a crochet in the 3rd or 4th loop of the base. It turns out such a fan. Connect with a connecting loop to the edge of the head.
Then you can tie the sides of the torso RLS. As here: 
Offset peacock pattern
Very beautiful openwork "fan", which is very popular. It belongs to a large group of patterns "Peacock tail", which is very diverse. A characteristic feature of this pattern is the vertical displacement of pattern-forming fragments. This can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. From an artistic point of view, this diversifies the pattern, but from a practical point of view, “nodules” form at the junctions of the displaced elements. They can be removed by choosing needles that are thicker than necessary for a given yarn and “serious” vertical stretching of an already finished and wetted fabric. This leads to an increase in friability and sparsity of the web. In the absence of bias, this disadvantage disappears.
Perfect for elegant summer clothes with a free silhouette.
The rapport consists of 16p. +1p. for symmetry. The diagram shows only the front rows, purl rows knit with purl loops. At the end of each row, where only half of the decrease element is present, replace three loops together with two loops together to eliminate the loss of loops.
