Thank you so much for choosing to make my plushie backpacks! This intermediate level pattern includes instructions for attaching a premade 7x9 inch drawstring liner, but those with sewing skills can make their own or you can crochet your own little pouch to stick inside. I highly recommend using the specified types of yarn to ensure you end up with a backpack sized plush. Mine measure about 15 in. tall and 9 inches wide, not including the ears or arms.

This pattern is written in US terms and is worked mostly in the round. The straps are “made to fit.”
