Thank you so much for choosing to make my Mushroom Boi Plushie Backpack! And thanks to @cuteshitwithyarn we’ve added a bonus mini mushroom pouch that’s just as fun to make! This intermediate-level pattern is written in US terms. I highly recommend using the specified types of yarn to ensure you end up with a backpack-sized plush that fits the suggested liner. Mine measure about 14 inches tall and 9 inches wide, not including the arms. You can also choose to make a regular plushie or backpack in any yarn type you’d like (you’d need to make/find your own liner though).

This pattern is worked mostly in the round, and the straps are “made to fit.”
