A proud peacock struts his stuff in a combination of art deco elements, designed by Pearl Stayton in 1916. Use this simple crochet pattern to make a pillow top as shown, or adapt it for other home decor.

This is not your usual scanned vintage crochet pattern. To make this pattern great for today’s crocheter I wrote complete instructions, expanded the written instructions so you won’t need to skip around, and made an easy to follow chart. I also changed the written instructions to use modern US crochet terms.

The only stitches you need to know to complete this lace are: chain stitch and double crochet.
