A:

The authors of the New Testament, including the authors who wrote two epistles in Peter's name, certainly knew the Old Testament quite well and made frequent references to prophecies said to be contained in the Hebrew scriptures. Whether Peter himself knew many Old Testament prophecies is unknown, although some prophecies seem to have been well known in first-century times and would no doubthave been known by Peter.
