Voyager Backpack

If you can single crochet, you can make this surprisingly sturdy crochet bucket backpack. Use up all your cotton scraps or choose a solid color. Accessorize with beads, tassels or leather. Whatever you decide, your backpack is sure to hold all the essentials for your next voyage!

This pattern is worked with two strands of yarn held together throughout, but if you'd prefer a crochet mini backpack, you can simply use one strand of yarn.

Advanced beginner level skills you’ll practice include single crochet, meeting gauge and working in the round. The drawstring straps use a unique method and the included video tutorial will help you master this easy technique.
