This crochet tutorial consists of illustrated pattern for crocheting two backpacks in the shape of an owl, 2 sizes: 25 cm x 21 cm and 30 cm x 28 cm. The size of the backpacks can be changed very easily. The children can use the backpack either as a kindergarden bag or as a day-to-day bag.

The backpacks can be crocheted with two different straps. The first option would be to make the crocheted straps and use the second finished straps (explained in the pattern).

Spoil your child with a backpack as an owl!
