Kaleidoscope Keepsake - Sunset Series is a beginner-friendly, modern crochet bag pattern that brings collected yarn remnants together into a layered, sunset-inspired accessory - each finished bag capturing a different moment of the the day’s end and uniquely its own.

This pattern is scrap-yarn friendly and works beautifully with a mix of colors and fibers. Simple construction and flexible color placement make this an approachable project for all crochet levels, while the design guides you in arranging varied yarns so the finished bag looks and feels balanced and intentional.

Due to the varied nature of yarn types and weights used throughout, exact yardage requirements cannot be calculated - and that’s part of the charm! Use the suggested color schemes included in the pattern or experiment with your own unique colorways, reflecting personal memories and special moments that resonate with you. Each bag becomes a keepsake of color, memory, and creative play, with no two ever alike.

Materials:
Assorted scrap yarns in a mix of colors
-Worsted weight recommended, but other weights may be used
-A variety of fibers works well (acrylic, wool, blends, etc.)

Crochet Hook:
Size recommended in the pattern (adjust hook size as needed to suit yarn choice and personal tension)

Notions:

  • Stitch markers
  • Tapestry needle
  • Scissors

Optional:

  • Bag handles or straps (your style of choice)
  • Fabric for lining
  • Magnetic snap or button closure
