We'll crochet one (or more!) of these cute Tyndal Mini Messenger Bags in June! And here's how they look on the inside, if you're adventurous enough to line them with some nice fabric.
You'll need about 350 yards of worsted weight cotton yarn, and a size 7 (4.5mm) crochet hook for this project.
Here's the schedule:
June 11: Pattern will be made free to download here.
June 13: Introductions & Yarn
June 14: Cast on the front panel.
June 15: Finish the front panel.
June 16: Cast on the back panel.
June 17: Finish the back panel.
June 18: Attach the panels & make the strap.
June 19: Make the flap & sew in lining (if desired).
June 20: Finished photos.
Comment below if you want to join in this CAL! Hope to crochet with you soon!
I love your bag.
I just found a scrap of this yellow today and finished off the bag! I made the strap long enough to be a cross body bag
So cute! Good job daughter!
This is my Ravelry project page.

My bag is finished! I will line it next week. I am going to use this fabric for the lining.
My daughter lined the bag for me and I put a button on it! ("If you like it then you shoulda put a button it... If you like it..." 😂 )
Had a lot of fun with you gals! Thanks for joining in! And if you're still working, we'll keep going here!

My strap isn't right so I'll be starting over. I forgot to follow the pattern.
I can barely knit, so a sweater is out of the question for me lol. Will keep working on my bag. I'm curious about the snow stitch? Is there another name for it, the only other pattern I found that uses it is your headband! (I hope you'll be relisting it on Etsy)
Almost done!
I will not be participating in the sweater KAL.
Thank you Wheel Decide 😉 and Wylde & Plumb 💜 Let me have a looksie so I can choose a digital card and a crochet pattern...
SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 2020: Last Day!
How's everyone doing on their bags? I realize not everyone is close to finishing, especially if you joined in late. I'm more than happy to keep this thread going as long as anyone needs it. And anyway, all the CAL/KAL project threads are always open, so feel free to pop in on any one of them anytime.
I did not get my bag lined yesterday. When I do I'll post a picture.
Let's do a big, happy final prize for today! How about a pattern of your choice from either KNIT Patterns or CROCHET Patterns above, and a card from CARDS Etc above (either a print card that I'll send to you, or a digital file you can use to print as many of your own cards as you like)? And the winner is...
@KelleJ!!! I'm especially glad Wheel Decide picked you, Kelle, since so many of the Wylde & Plumb projects are knit projects, and you've been such a wonderful cheerleader for those even though you don't knit (YET). Tell me which pattern and card (print or digital) you'd like to have!
Our next project will be to knit the Ripe Peaches Tee, July 11-18.
Does anyone here think they might join in? I'm wondering now if maybe this one is a little too ambitious? Do you all prefer smaller projects, or would you like to try this one? For the week of the KAL we'll just finish the front panel. The back is exactly like it, but without the neck separation, so you can finish that up on your own time. Let me know what you think.
Thank you so much for joining in on the Tyndal Mini Messenger Bag CAL! You're a very fun group and I'm grateful for all of you!
Maria, how long did you make your handles?
I didn’t get to crochet much today. I am still working on the strap.
Do I keep going across the top? Plus, I don't understand how to begin the strap.
Wow your daughter's projects are too cute. Love your Bag.
I'm going with a more square bag, about 6.5"
Missed yesterday’s entry, but not much progress right now. Too much gardening, yard sales and orders to fulfill. 🤣🙈 I’ll keep limping behind 🤣💕
