Greetings dear community, today I share with you the result of a project I have been working on for the last two weeks, it is an amigurumi in the shape of a peacock.
The reason for making this amigurumi was the request for a pattern of this animal by a person on my social networks, I still have not written the entire specific pattern on the computer and I hope that they have been convinced by my design and decide to buy the pattern, however, for me each amigurumi is a personal challenge and this one in particular took me a long time, I feel that with each new figure I make I get new learning and although I end up with fatigue and great pain in my hands, personal satisfaction is what that fills my spirit and encourages me to continue with my creations.
This peacock is made entirely with 1mm thick acrylic yarn and with a #4 (1.25mm) crochet hook, this means that the stitch size is very small and therefore required more work, but being the smallest stitch allows me to the details are more delicate and faithful to the proportion that I have in mind, thanks to that the beak was pointed and the legs were the size that I wanted, on the other hand the idea was to make a slightly tender or caricatured image of the peacock but that it still retain realistic elements, so I always had in mind the image of the real peacock but to keep the balance of the body with respect to the tail I decided to make it sitting, but the peacock never opens its tail while sitting or in a position of break, I was able to observe that on my recent visit to my friend @Yetsimar's residence, where there is a couple of peacocks, by the way, although I knew that only the males have tails of those colors, I never imagined I didn't think the color difference with the female turkey was so big, so obviously my amigurumi is male.

This peacock measures 20 cm so the tail had to be very wide, I spent most of the execution time on this one due to the type of stitch, I felt very good when I made the final assembly of the amigurumi and that everything fit according to my scheme.
Making projects like these takes time and due to medical problems with my son it took longer than expected, but I am satisfied and excited, it's been a long time since I made an amigurumi of an animal and not of a character, I hope you like it
