What is the Bag Along CAL?
Every 2 months in 2022, I’ll release a new, free crochet pattern for a bag. The size, style, and type of bag will vary so that we can explore lots of different techniques.
See the main 2022 Bag Along CAL post for the full schedule and more details.
Knit Picks Brava Minis
WeCrochet has provided all the lovely Knit Picks yarns for these bag designs. For this bag, we’ll be using Brava Minis. This is the same Brava yarn we know and love, but in mini skeins of only 25g each. Such small skeins are wonderful for making multi-colored projects, without leaving a lot of leftovers or waste.
Our 2nd bag of the year will feature tapestry crochet colorwork in 5 fun colors, perfect for spring!
Bag #2 Materials List
- Yarn: Knit Picks Brava Minis 100% acrylic, worsted weight yarn (54 yds / 25 g per skein), 1 skein each of:
- #29409 Custard
- #29414 Fairy Tale
- #29419 Lady Slipper
- #29420 Marina
- #29401 Celestial
- Hook: Size H / 5mm hook or size needed to match gauge
- Notions:
- Yarn needle
- Stitch marker or scrap of yarn to use as a running stitch marker
- Cord lock for drawstring (optional)
- 6-inch flat circle of stiff plastic or cardboard – something like plastic mesh, a tupperware lid, or a circle cut out of a cardboard box. (optional)
Gauge:
17 sc x 16 rows = 4 inches.
The first section of the pattern can be used as a gauge swatch.
Important! This pattern uses almost every bit of the yarn listed, so err on the side of being too tight when measuring gauge. If your gauge is even a little bit too loose, you will likely run out of yarn (particularly the Celestial color). If your gauge matches, or is a bit too tight, you’ll be fine.
Bag #2 Pattern
The pattern for bag #2 will be available on March 15th, 2022. Check back here after that date for the link, or see the main Bag Along CAL post for the full schedule.

Thanks for the giveaway! I haven’t used the WeCrochet yarns or hooks. I would choose the blue, turquoise & yellow for my bag. No preference on the bag style as they are all useful & unique. I keep a fingernail file in my project bag and use it often. Nothing worse than catching a rough or chipped nail on your WIP. Good luck everyone!
Erin Ellis
I have tried WeCrochet hooks and they are fantastic!
Dawn Tenneson
Yes I’ve tried Brava worsted and bulky – fantastic yarn!!!
Jane Garwood
I would love to try out WeCrochet yarn, but have not yet. Tote bags are my favorite kind of bag. I always try to have a project of some kind with me to keep boredom at bay when I am not busy with something. I think I’d choose a Pink set of colors for my bag. I’m not sure what tool I’d add at this point. Thank you so very much for the give-away.
Kimberly Stone
I love your patterns and your videos!
Pia Thadani

Awesome Giveaway! Always looking for new projects. This year will be lots of baby items!
Pia Thadani
Oooh are you expecting? Or do you know someone who is? Either way, congrats to you or to them 🙂

I haven’t tried the brava worsted yet, but the color selection is amazing! I’m looking forward to the bag along. I got a rather late start here.
Pia Thadani
Welcome to the CAL! We purposely go slow so it’s never too late to join 🙂

Discovered We Crochet yarns a few months ago & I’m loving them! This bag looks like fun. I’ve never crocheted a bag before but I have done a tapestry blanket before.
Ravini Budhoo
Yes, I have WeCrochet yarn and absolutely love working with them. I chose to use White, Black, Cobblestone Heather, Persimmon, and Red. I love the tapestry bag pattern. I usually put extra stitch markers, scissors, yarn needles, and snacks in my project bags. 🙂
Tammie
Just found you so excited
Pia Thadani
I’m excited too! Welcome to the CAL 🙂
Tonya
I’ve been looking for a nice, little bag that’s easy to carry around for when I’m at the office and don’t have adequate pockets for my phone and ID. This may fit the bill!
Pia Thadani
Yes, it totally should! 🙂
Verna
I haven’t tried WeCrochet hooks or yarns, but I do have two skeins in my stash. Haven’t had the time yet to find the right project for them yet.

I love WeCrochet Caspian Hooks. I snapped one in the set and they replaced it, they have a 1 year guarantee on they’re products!
