This is a backpack that was requested by my coworker that is obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, especially Raphael. This backpack pattern can be converted to make any of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This pattern is specifically for Raphael. I will design the parts of Leonardo, Michaelangelo, and Donatello if they are requested. The pieces that make up the backpack body are made holding 2 strands of yarn together. The body pieces of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, i.e. arms, legs, head, and Sais.
