From pattern description:


“Constructed using the entrelac technique, it is a fun project to learn the entrelac stitch and results in a practical, durable backpack great for gift giving. This felted backpack is knitted entirely in the round from the top, with some shaping at the bottom to complete the bag without seams. If you are worried about committing to large project before you are comfortable with the entrelac stitch, try the Introduction to Entrelac - Class In A Bag. You will learn all of the same skills listed below while working on a smaller scale project.”
