This pattern works up very quickly and was so much fun to make. I used regular poly-FIL stuffing. The backpack is seamed on the bottom but I left the top open (optional) for holding small items. It’s knit from the bottom up. I hope you have as much fun as I did!

Don’t forget to block the grey face mask area like I did! I was too excited and left out that step.

I used a size 9 needle on the body but depending on how you knit you may want to go down to a size 8 needle. I don’t pack the body too densely with poly-fil. It should be full but still squishy like a pillow.
