What can I make with the Peacock Stitch?
This is a great stitch because it’s only two stitches, and works up in height very fast. I’d recommend using this for a light blanket, a pillow covering or even a nice textured scarf, cowl, or cardigan.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below, I would love to talk crochet!

Is the treble stitch the uk and U.S. the double crochet or am I confused
Hi Elaine! Stitches do vary from UK to US, definitely. A US Treble is a UK double. Meaning, in the US a treble is yarning over 3 times to start, then pull through 2 at a time until you have one left on your hook.
