About This Teal Peacock Feather Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern

This runner is a long teal panel with a row of peacock feather motifs. Each feather has a cream eye, a ring of turquoise and royal blue, and gold tips, set on a cream background and finished with a scalloped gold and cream border.

The runner measures about 14 inches wide and 48 inches long. You crochet the feathers as separate motifs, join them in a row and then work the border around the whole piece.

Why You'll Love This Teal Peacock Feather Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern

I love how the feathers catch the light. The turquoise and gold look rich on a wooden or granite table, and the runner still feels handmade and warm.

Because the motifs are worked one at a time, it is easy to carry a feather in your bag and work on it anywhere.

Assembly Instructions

  2. Weave in all ends with a yarn needle.
  3. Steam lightly and let it dry flat.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Skipping blocking, which makes the rings curl.

Pulling color changes too tight, which puckers the motif.

Joining the squares with uneven tension, which makes the runner wavy.

Not counting the border stitches, which makes the scallops uneven.

Important Notes

Use cotton yarn so the runner lies flat on the table.

Keep the color order the same in every feather.

Work the border loosely so the edges do not pull in.

I hope this peacock runner brings a splash of color to your table. Happy hooking!
