This is a collection of amazing crochet backpack patterns. These are great accessories to keep all your essentials on you comfortably on your back.
I find that crochet backpack is an essential accessory when you have kids! There are a lot of things you need to keep handy when out with the kids.
However, we also know how important it is to be hands-free when out with kids, right?
So, the perfect solution to keep all your essentials handy and have your hands free is a crochet backpack!
The great thing about making your own backpack is that you can completely customise it yourself!
Do you need a large crochet backpack for spare sets of baby clothes and baby snacks, bottles and spoons?
Or do you need something smaller just to carry your wallet, phone and keys?
If you need extra pockets, secret zipper pockets for valuables, water bottle holders on the side, small inside pocket for pens or hooks… You can add all these extras to your backpack and make it exactly as you want it.
There is nothing worse than finding two backpacks at the store and wishing you can put together the best features out of the two to make a backpack of your dreams.
Well, now you can make a crochet backpack of your dreams. Have a look at the collection below and feel free to combine a few patterns and features together to make the perfect crochet backpack.
