This cool crochet backpack is a smart alternative to a tote for holding all your stuff. Stitched in Caron Simply Me Montage, the body is worked in textured half double crochet over 2 rounds. Random stripes, with matching straps and ties, give the bag its unique personality. The pattern is available in a bright and neutral version, but you can express your style using any shade. Measuring 12” W x 15” H with a 6” gusset, it’s perfect for carrying daily essentials, plus all the extras for life on the go!
