Measurements
Measure the height of the child's back and width. These will be the main measurements of the backpack. Then, from the back height points, measure how much is needed for the straps. For the handle, you can use a length of about 14 cm.
Sample
In order not to bandage several times, it is better to immediately create a sample. This is a small square canvas. Using the canvas, determine how many loops (columns) there are in 10 cm and how many rows.
Bottom
The bottom should be knitted with single crochets according to the given pattern.
Next, apply a fabric of simple single crochets and knit in circular rows without adding to the desired height.
Top
In order to make the upper part of the backpack, you will need to make a chain of air loops along the width of the bottom, and then apply a pattern of single crochets. Knit the length of the bottom (diameter) without changing, and then in every second row make cuts with two air columns from each edge (one at the beginning and one at the end). Knit the bottom radius with decreases and finish the lid.
Belts
For each strap, the measurements have already been calculated and you just need to convert everything into columns and start knitting a chain along the length of the measurement. Then follow the pattern of single crochets for 7 rows and the strap is ready. Using this principle, perform the second strap.
Pen
The handle for the backpack is made of white yarn and will require a length of 14 cm. Also knit a chain and after not 7, but 4 rows of single crochets.
Assembly
Insert a thread into the top of the bag, tighten it and this will close the backpack. You can insert a lace or a chain of air loops. Next, sew on the top cover, straps and handle of the backpack.
All that remains is to complete the binding.
Harness
The tying is done according to the pattern of a simple shell. Be sure to use a contrasting thread, in this case white.
Decoration
Tie a neat bow from a satin ribbon as a decoration. Cut the corners along the edges of the ribbon and burn it so that the ribbon does not unravel. It is better to sew the bow through a knot so that it does not come undone.
Important! If you additionally use zippers on the inside of the lid, this will only make the backpack more convenient.
