This delectable duo of backpack and beret will have nursery school teachers sighing at their sweetness - just look at that gorgeous moss stitch on the backpack and the diamond patterning on the beret! We love it! Practical and beautiful on every level! Knitted in Rialto DK, both are washable, and the back pack gives you a chance to find fabulous fabric for lining and wide ribbon for the straps.
