Here is a felted backpack for a little one. It uses 5 child-friendly colors done in stripes which race around the backpack as you knit it in the round. The straps are adjustable with D rings sewn on the back. It closes with a simple flap and button. This is suitable for carrying all sorts of treasures, including stuffed animals.
