You'll be as proud as this this peacock when your guests OOH and AHH at the beauty and majesty of this fine feathered friend. This vintage pattern calls for a #30 thread and a # 10 hook, but feel free to use what ever thread you feel the best using. For a nice size piece, or if you are afraid of thin thread, double your thread and use a larger hook.
