My DDs bookbag

[LittleJadeFrog]

I had it in mind to do a Hello Kitty back pack for my daughter for 1st grade that I found while searching for bookbags to make. I did not realize that a backpack and bookbag are 2 different things. Anyway I found a really cute pattern..can't remember where right now but it had no finished size. MAN! That drives me NUTS! The pattern called for an F needle and sport weight yarn, so I used G and WW. The bottom 5 rnds turned into 13...and so on you get the idea. Well I wasn't happy at all with any of it and turns out she didn't want Hello Kitty after all!

 

So this is what I came up with...(that is a 10 gallon fish :goldfish tank in the back to give you an idea of the size)

LOL - I've been threatening my 9th grader (first year in High School!) that I would make her backpack. I think I'll have to show her your pictures!

 

Seriously - it's really great! Does she like it? I hope she does!

Cute bookbag! Great job!

Once she's actually in school, it may be the final year you can make her crocheted items. My kids only wanted whatever everyone else had.

I was threatening my son with the same thing! He's in the 4th grade. LOL! He wouldn't even kiss me this morning!

 

She couldn't wait to fill it up with school supplies. Her teacher loved it. When I thanked her for the compliment she asked if it was homemade. My daughter beamed and said "My mommy made it!" MAN that feels so good!

 

Thank you all for your kind compliments! I still have to put a lining in it to make it last alittle longer but I ran out of time (I keep putting it off )

[DebbyinLV]

Wow! You did a great job on it! It's adorable!

Oh my gosh, I love it and it would go great with my new 8 pocket tote!

 

I am very active in my DD's HS Marching Band and this would work great for all the competitions and football games we go to. Where did you find the pattern? The large pack works for me!
