You can make school days magical with Terry Day’s crocheted Little Girl’s Backpack. Stitched in contrasting colors of glittery Simply Soft® Party, this backpack is big enough to hold all her essentials, and sparkly enough to make her feel extra-special the minute she puts it on. Finish off her finery with a perky fringe, contrasting stitchwork and a groovy button, and you’ll make a memory for someone you love.
