This is the easiest backpack 🎒 I have seen on KZbin! Finally! I can make one of these! Thank you so much 💜

[@indrahx5905]

I have crocheted two of these, one in pink and one in purple, like the ones my twin nieces have for school. So now their dollies get one just like their own! 💞 Hope they'll love it. I only changed one little detail: instead of snap buttons I used sewn in neodymium magnets to close the flap. Works nicely and is easier for children. Thank you very very much for this tutorial! PS This backpack fits a doll of at least 33cm/13inch (if you make it a bit shorter) or taller.

[@sajasidaoui7096]

Thank you so much for the great tutorial! Made so many of these and gifted them to my friends as key chains with beads having the letters of their names. They absolutely loved them! All credit to you!

Love this tutorial - i shrank the size way down to fit a Barbie doll - its great. I also made the flap continuously instead of making it separate and attaching it - i think its easier and looks cleaner. i would show a pic if i knew how!

[@SharonLee2600]

Thanks. Yes I did the same thing with the flap in my other tutorial.

[@eileensabarre885]

How do you get to a point that it is shaped to a bag. Your instructions of crocheting in rounds/ row until desired height is reached is kind of vague. If one keeps going around doing SC and it is flat , how does it turn into a bag? At which point and where does one put together the edges to create the sack/bag? The video started great but somehow missing the most important part of tutorial on how to shape it into a back pack /sack as your video jumped from a flat rectangle to a bag/sack. Would appreciate the clarification on this part of the tutorial ;-)

[@SharonLee2600]

After you make the rectangle piece which is the base for this mini back pack, work a SC around the rectangle. If you want to make the exact number of stitches around, try to count the numbers of the stitches per row times the number of rows. .that will be the total number of stitches when you work in rounds. Then chain 1. 1 SC into the same stitch 1 SC into each stitch around the edges of the rectangle piece. Once you get back around, slip stitch into the first SC made. Ch 1 then 1 SC into the same stitch. 1 SC into every stitch around. Repeat this round until you get to your desired height. Since I am working in SC, I preferred working in spiral so the end of each round would not get noticeable coz it creates this line. Then make the fold and continue working in rows to make the flap.

Has anyone typed up the pattern? I did that with a panda that I’m working on. I find it easier to using a typed out pattern along side the video.

Nice...!! I made one with diffrnt pattrn

[@kacelynannejandoc8157]

can i add more chains in the beginning to make the back pack bigger? i'm also planning to use 10ply polyester yarn (is it ok?)

[@SharonLee2600]

Yes you can use any yarn of your choice

[@anitamany4840]

Are you slip stitching, chain one and single crochet in the same stitch everytime you get back to the the beginning of the row ? Or was it just that one time?

[@SharonLee2600]

Yes I close each round with a slip stitch.

[@mygoldfishrocks]

How do you work up the sides? ? ? Why cut out one of the most important steps?

[@SharonLee2600]

After working in rows for the base, the next step is to work single crochet around the rectangle base. To hide the join, I worked in spiral single crochets until I get to the height I want.

[@TheKazadoodle]

She didn't cut it out. Check time stamp 6:15 ...

[@p.l.5062]

Hi, i am crocheting this cute little bag right now, and i was wondering how many rows did you do in height? Thank you much love x Edit: questions, when i end a round with a slip stitch and chain 1 to start the nexr round, i noticed that that specific edge is more wide then the other 3 edges. Is it supposed to be like that? Or should i continue each round, after round 2, with just slipt stitch and then SC 1, skipping ch1? Because i see that you don't have that wide edge. What am i doing incorrect? Thank you!!!

[@SharonLee2600]

After my first round of SC, i chained 1 then 1 SC into the same stitch. I do this so that I know when to start the next round. Chain 1 does not count as 1 stitch.

[@p.l.5062]

@@SharonLee2600 thank you so much for your reply, and how many rows did you crochet for the height of the mini bag, as in the video?

[@SharonLee2600]

I couldn't remember but it's up to you.. usually when I want a small one. The height is just about 3 inches tall.

[@kiranjain8872]

Love this bag..but I want to make a big size ..so should I just increase the no of chains?

[@SharonLee2600]

You should increase the number of foundation chains depending on the length then the rows repeated will determine the width. Now if the total number of each row is equal to the total number of stiches each row.. that would make a square and then once the base is done, work 1 SC into each stitch around.. you may add an increase or 2 scs when you get to each corner..

[@kiranjain8872]

@@SharonLee2600 Thankyou dear

[@AqilahRilla]

Hi sorry! I still don't quite understand for round 2 we chain one and do SC in that same stitch and then do 1 SC for every stitch around. But to end that round 2, do we slip stitch to the same first stitch of the row? is it meant to look sideways at the side?

[@SharonLee2600]

i worked in spiral rounds so I don't have to close each round with a slip stitch.

That’s nice but one thing once you say to that you did 18 rows or how many rows you decide then when you showed it again it was a little bag you didn’t show how to do that step

[@SharonLee2600]

After finishing all the rows, work 1 SC into each stitch around. Then work spiral in round so that there won't be traces of join like what you see when closing each each round with a slip stitch.

[@TheKazadoodle]

Yes, she did. Check time stamp 6:15.

How do you get it round

[@SharonLee2600]

Just work a starting round of 6 SC. You should learn the flat circle pattern to make the base

[@juhanajannah3702]

Can u tell the amount of yarn?

A small amount..you won't need a lot of you are making the same size as mine.
