About the pattern
When my son was going back to school after the pandemic closure and needed a new bag, I decided to make something for him in his favorite colors. This drawstring backpack turned out to be perfect!

This pattern is written for a toddler size but is easily adjustable.

  1. Complete list of materials
  2. Written Instructions
  3. Video tutorials for all stitches and techniques used in this pattern.
  4. A video tutorial that shows how to make the backpack.
  5. A PDF with written instructions, a photo tutorial, and a video tutorial for making an I-Cord.
