Bilbao Bag CAL
The most fun community crochet project of 2025
Two months of inspiration, motivation and growing your crochet skills!
A CAL, or Crochet A Long, is a shared crochet project where you make the same project at the same time as everyone else.
Every 10 days you'll get a new part of the pattern by email, and in between you can swap experiences in the dedicated Yupa Studio Discord channel.
The perfect way to learn new techniques and meet other crocheters.
About last year's Blanket CAL
Even though the CAL had already started, you gave me the chance to join in anyway. We're on part 3 now and I can't wait for the next parts. The pattern is clearly written and you're so helpful whenever I get stuck. Thank you!
About the CAL
- Available as a kit or as a pattern with access only
- Detailed instructions in text, photos and video
- Crochet the same project alongside like-minded makers
- Quick answers to your questions
- Inspiration and motivation in our dedicated Discord channel
And also:
- Bag size: about 35 by 40 cm high (excluding handles)
- 5 parts, and every part is a surprise
- A new part of the pattern every 10 days
- Duration: a good 7 weeks
- The CAL started December 13, but joining in later is absolutely fine!
Got great help when something went wrong with my order — quick to respond and quickly sorted out. I've also bought lots of patterns from Yupa Studio already, and everything is so much fun to make. After years, I've completely rediscovered my joy in crochet. Thank you so much Paula, I'm already looking forward to all the fun things still to come!
Why join this CAL?
Super clear instructions, and when I had questions the help was fast and lovely too! Highly recommend :)
The very best and most fun crochet community in the Benelux! The sweetest girl(s) behind it all, and you get help super fast and super well whenever you have a crochet problem! 10 stars if I could! :)
I bought the Lagos raglan sweater pattern from Yupa Studio. And it's honestly such a lovely pattern to work with, super clear and with photos. And links to a video tutorial. Thanks Paula!😊 …

Almost three years ago I started Yupa Studio. Since day 1, my goal has been to connect and inspire new generations through creativity and crochet.
And it's working!! By now Yupa Studio is an amazing community of (young) crocheters, we have a shop with crochet patterns and kits - and since this year we also organize craft events.
I'm so excited for this CAL and I can't wait to see all your beautiful creations.
