Basket Weave Backpack
Basket Weave Backpack
"If you’re looking for something a little more challenging – not to mention GORGEOUS – then this super cute little drawstring backpack may be just the thing! With drawstrings on either side we can cinch up the top to hold our goodies. This would be a great size for a child to take back and forth to pre-school, or for anyone to use as a small purse. This works up super quickly. You could make one in a solid color, as I have done here, or use a different color for the Backward Pass to make those basketweave stitches really pop. "
