New Crochet Design with a Peacocky Touch

Today I can show you a little bit of what I've been working on this past week. It's going to be a new free crochet design with a peacocky touch. The peacock feathers in the picture above may look familiar to you :) I designed these a few years ago and it was actually the first free crochet pattern I published on this blog. Many of you made them and wear them as earrings. Lovely! It's called the French Mini Peacock Feather and you can find the pattern here. I'm going to use these cute little mini feathers to embellish this new design I plan to publish at the end of May.

The yarn I'm going to use for it is Scheepjes Bamboo Soft and in my previous blog post you can read more about it. One of the reasons Bamboo Soft is perfect for this project is that it creates a beautiful drape. And drape is what I need because I'm making gift or project pouches! From cute and small to practical and large. The small ones are ideal for gifts as they work up really quickly and look fab and you could use the larger ones to keep (crochet) projects in.

It's a relaxing make without a lot of counting. You work in a spiral either in sc stitches or linen stitch and the top is simple dc stitches. I've already made a few pouches and have just finished this golden yellow one today and am about the finish a blue one, which I'll show you next week.

Here's a sneak peek of a largest pouch I made in deep purple. I'll reveal all pouches next week!
