Shell Backpack Crocodile stitch PDF pattern and complete and detailed video-description of the whole backpack creating process. You need to have at least basic skills of crocheting to understand the process completely. The terms of crocheting are 3-5 days. 

Stages of pattern (with English subtitles):

✩ how many increases to do on the leather bottom to create the basis of the backpack;

✩ how to crochet a crocodile stitch pattern;

✩ how to make sure that the scales do not twist;

✩ how to crochet a clasp for a backpack;

✩ how to install leather and metal accessories;

✩ how to sew a lining with a rectangular bottom and sew to a backpack;

You will need these things for the backpack:

  • 750 meters of polyester cord (2-3 mm) or cotton cord (2-3 mm). (Each skein is 230 g.)

  • a bottom, a strap for the flap, a tie and shoulder straps of leather or artificial leather. I am showing all the sizes in the video. 

-2 D-rings and 2 gate rings;

-a piece of cloth to make the lining;

-a 3.5 mm or 4 mm crochet hook;

  • scissors, some thread of the same color as the cord, some monofilament, a measuring tape, a ruler, a needle to sew the details together and some special markers for crocheting.
