Creating the Base of the Backpack

We will begin with an oval base. So we will work in rounds making an oval.

Start with a chain of 10 stitches.

Round 1

Beginning with the second stitch, 1 sc in the next 8 sts (until you have 1 st left), 3 sc in the last st (mark the first and the last st), turn on the other side of the ch, 1 sc in the next 8 sts, 3 sc in the next (and the last st of the row), Sl st with the 1st sc.

Round 2

Ch 1, [1 sc in the next 8 sts, 1 inc in the next 3 sts] repeat this section on the other side of the chain. Sl st.

Round 3

Ch 1, [1 sc in the next 8 sts, (1 inc, 1 sc in next st) 3 times] repeat the section on the other side of the chain. Sl st.

Round 4

Ch 1, [1 sc in the next 8 sts, (1 inc, 1 sc in next st) 4 times] repeat the section on the other side of the chain. Sl st.

Round 5

Ch 1, [1 sc in the next 8 sts, (1 inc, 1 sc in next st) 5 times] repeat the section on the other side of the chain. Sl st.

The base of the backpack is done.

Continuing with the Backpack Body

Rounds 6 – 23

(or until you get to the desired height of your backpack)

Ch 1, 1 sc in each st around, Sl st.

Fasten off.

Creating the Backpack Flap

Fold the top of the backpack with the side edges in the interior. On the back side, mark the second stitch and the stitch before the last one. This will be the length of your backpack flap.

Row 1

Insert the hook and begin to make 1 sc in each st. Ch 1 and turn.

If you want a flap with straight edges, repeat the 1st row until you get to the desired length of the flap. If you want a flap with round edges, you will have to decrease and follow the rest of the pattern.

Rows 2 – 5

Repeat row 1.

Row 6 and Beyond

Continue until you get to the desired length of the flap. Decrease by 1 st at the beginning of the row (skip the first st) then continue with 1 sc in each st to the end of the row.

Make an edge in sc. After finishing the flap, the crocheted backpack is done. Attach the backpack closure, the D rings, and the straps, and you are done! If you want, you can put a lining but it is not mandatory.
