Mochila Bags are done using single crochets in the back loops of the previous round of single crochets.This pattern was designed with a 20 round base thus allowing 8 repetition of the large heart pattern.

Yarn Needed:
240 yards (or more if you crochet lose) of main color
120 yard of 5 more colors.

The base is a simple spiral pattern where you do 2 Rnds of each color twice to make 20 Rnds.

The base of the heart pattern starts at the top of the “spokes” in the base.

YouTube is FILLED with videos on how to make a Mochila Bag. This will be of great help if you have never done this type of bag before.

The cord was made using a Kumihomo Disc and 6 strand of yarn, separated to make 12 pieces.

The Shoulder Strap was made after measuring the length of trap you desire. Then, using the large heart pattern, complete the strap.
