Can you believe it how time flies? Today we are doing the last part of the overlay design of our Peacock Tail bag before assembling it next week. But first there are some more lovely details that we are working out in part 5. As always, you can find the written pattern and many translations for Part 5 of Peacock Tail Bag on the designer’s blog, LillaBjorn Crochet.

Also for this part I have split the front and back parts into two videos and added markers to the description of the videos on YouTube so that you can easily jump to a specific round if you want to. You can find the video links for the front and back of the bag on my blog or on my YouTube channel.

Joining the CAL
To join the CAL, join the Official CCC Social Group on Facebook that is hosting the project. To make this bag you will need 6 balls of Scheepjes Linen Soft yarn in 5 colors; for the main color of the bag you will need 2 balls and of the other 4 colors you will need 1 ball of each. There are two kits available that contain everything you need to make your bag; one in a Peacock colorway and the other in a Pastel colorway. Linen Soft is available from Wool Warehouse (UK/International), Paradise Fibers (US/CA) or your local Scheepjes stockist. I am using Linen Soft in the following colors: 2 balls of 614 as that is my main color, and 1 ball each of 622, 625, 626 and 627. In addition to the yarn you will need a bag handle, 2 30mm D-rings, an 18mm magnetic clasp, interfacing and fabric for the lining.
Hope to see you next week for the final part; then we also get to use that lovely fabric we got for the lining.
With love,
Esther
