Pattern description from Stitch ‘n Bitch: “After a lot of measuring up and unraveling, I came up with this design for a backpack. Except for the intarsia knitting, it’s pretty easy to make-all you’re doing is stitching together knitted squares, then throwing in a zipper and some straps. The bag’s big enough to fit things that wouldn’t usually fit in a purse but small enough and soft enough to take to crowded places. Mine’s even accompanied me to a few mosh pits.”
