The Gilmore Messenger Bag is a great skill builder for the intermediate crocheter, using both C2C and Tunisian crochet! The bag itself is made entirely of C2C crochet. Usually, C2C (corner to corner) crochet is used to make ‘graphgans’, or afghan blankets made from a graph to create a picture – it’s like pixel art for crochet! This bag uses the C2C technique with colour fading yarn, so you get the practice of the C2C technique without juggling different colours. The strap is made in a very simple beginner Tunisian stitch.
