This is a backpack that I have been sitting on for a while. The original idea for this Dragon Backpack was for my wife to have something to carry her portable oxygen concentrator in while she would go to conventions. Unfortunately, I need got around to making it because my wife got too sick because of what Covid did to her to continue to go to conventions. Only the core pieces of the backpack were made with a double strand of yarn throughout. I know that then pattern calls for sewing thread, but I used something that I have found to be much stronger than simple sewing thread – dental floss. That is what I used to sew the straps in place.
