Drawstring Backpack

[janal14]

I made up this quick backpack in one evening.  The pattern is adapted from the WIP bag from the book "Crochet One-Skein Wonders".  Original pattern uses sock weight - I used some leftover Red Heart Super Saver.  I did one round of the split stitch hdc in the pattern, decided that I hated it, and switched to just hdc.  I did not do any of the picots on the top edge, and simply made long chains for the straps instead of shoelaces.

 

I really like how it turned out.  This one has been given to my stepdaughter, but I think that I may make one for myself in colors more suited to me.
