Pattern Notes
This backpack is worked in one piece from the bottom up in parts: Backpack (continuous, unjoined rounds), Straps (rows).
The straps are crocheted directly into the Foundation Ch of the Backpack, then woven through one of the final rounds to form the closure. Finally, they’re tied to adjust both the Strap length and how the Backpack closes.
Tip: To keep track of rounds, place 1 stitch marker in first Sc of each round, moving it up to first Sc of next round as you go.
