This crochet backpack is a unique and stylish accessory perfect for holding your daily necessities, books, and favorite items. It’s comfortable and secure to use, with the straps doubling as a closure to prevent unwanted access while you’re wearing it. This versatile piece can also be transformed into a shoulder or cross-body bag. It pairs wonderfully with jeans and a T-shirt or with a long dress and a short jacket. A detachable tassel adds a boho charm to it.
Perfect as a gift!

The backpack is made as a one-piece from bottom up. The base is made in rows, then goes seamlessly into the body which is worked in rounds. At the end, straps are added (worked in rows).
