NOTES:

1. THIS PATTERN IS WRITTEN IN US TERMS FOR THE RIGHT HANDED CROCHETER
2. THIS PATTERN IS WRITTEN WITH THE BEGINNER IN MIND AND HAS A PHOTO TUTORIAL
3. THIS PATTERN IS FOR A REGULAR FULL SIZE BACKPACK
4. THIS PATTERN WAS DESIGNED FOR STRENGTH AND DURABILITY BECAUSE I WANTED THE FINISHED PRODUCT TO BE INTENDED FOR EVERYDAY USE
5. THIS PATTERN WAS CREATED USING RED HEART SUPER SAVER YARNS AND HAS BEEN TESTED USING BERNAT, I LOVE THIS YARN, & CARON YARNS. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING CARON SIMPLY SOFT IF YOU ARE INTENDING FOR THIS BAG TO BE USED DAILY AS IT DID NOT SEEM TO HOLD UP TO THE WEIGHT OF BOOKS VERY WELL. IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE I LOVE THIS YARN YOU WILL NEED 2 FULL SKEINS AND ABOUT A 1/5 MORE OF A 3RD SKEIN OF THE GREEN
6. THE PATTERN TESTERS AND I HUNG OUR FINISHED PRODUCTS FOR 2 WEEKS WITH 3 HEAVY TEXT BOOKS AND MEASURED FOR STRETCH, LOOKED AT STITCHING TO SEE IF ANY PULLED OR CAME LOOSE. END RESULT WAS THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BERNAT, I LOVE THIS YARN, AND RHSS BRANDS. SHAPE AND DURABILITY REMAINED THE SAME.
7. BAG SHAPE REMAINED INTACT AND DURABLE AFTER SEVERAL WASHES
8. HAVE FUN WITH IT! CHANGE UP THE COLORS FOR YOUR OTHER FAVORITE TURTLES! I’VE EVEN MADE ONE WITH PINK STRAPS AND BAND 
