21 Modern Crochet Backpacks
Summer is vastly approaching, and so are the hotter days when all you want to do is to go on a walk with a lightweight bag or backpack. It’s really incredible how comfy a crochet backpack can be because it’s really light, easy to make, and very spacious, therefore perfect to grab, for instance, some last-minute groceries or pack some books (or anything else, for that matter). Moreover, you can make a backpack for yourself and your kiddos, they are great to carry around toys! I absolutely love these patterns, and I’m sure you’ll too!
