Hand Crochet Your Own Lunar New Year Red Bag

Celebrate Lunar New Year by making your own hand-crocheted red bag — perfect for holding your lucky red envelopes and carrying good fortune into the new year.

This beginner-friendly workshop is designed for anyone curious about learning crochet. We’ll be starting with hand crochet, a great introduction because the stitches are larger, easier to see, and simpler to manipulate than traditional hook crochet.

What You’ll Learn & Create:
• The basics of hand crochet
• How to hand crochet your own red bag from start to finish
• Decorate your bag with festive charms and personal touches

Why a Red Bag?

Red symbolizes luck, prosperity, and protection — making this a meaningful, functional piece you’ll love using throughout the Lunar New Year season.

No prior experience needed. Come slow down, learn a new skill, and leave with a handmade bag filled with intention (and red envelopes!).

About Sunset Commons:

Carmen and Steven started Sunset Commons to provide a space to connect and build community through arts and craft activities led by talented local artists. Inspired by a love for creativity and a desire to foster connection in the Sunset District, we envisioned a “third space” where neighbors can gather, unwind, and form meaningful relationships. Our mission is to empower self-expression, boost confidence, and offer an inclusive haven for everyone, from introverts seeking a calm environment to those enjoying health-focused traditional teas. Sunset Commons is not just a business - it’s our way of enriching the community we love and to the city we both grew up in.

*Our events are often photographed and filmed so we can share the fun with our community. If you don’t want to be on camera, no worries—let us know before the event.
