Crafting a Stylish small Crochet Backpack: Combining Leather Accessories and T-Shirt Yarn. Crocheting is like painting with yarn, and we’re about to add a touch of elegance and durability to your creations. By using leather kit accessories and high-quality t-shirt yarn, I’ll guide you through making a cool small crochet backpack. I’ve even got a free crochet pattern for you. This mix not only guarantees a trendy outcome but also promises a fun and lasting project.

Why Use Leather Accessories In Crochet Backpack: Adding Style and Strength

Leather accessories can make your creations look fancy and last longer. Leather kit accessories, like a leather base, flap, straps, and hardware, can give your crochet projects a professional finish and make them tough enough for everyday use.

Creating the Crochet Backpack: Where Yarn Meets Leather

Making a crochet backpack that’s both stylish and sturdy is easier than you think. The free crochet pattern helps you make a backpack that’s useful and looks great. When you add the leather kit accessories, you’re combining the cozy feeling of yarn with a modern touch of leather.

Materials you’ll need:

• T-shirt yarn (it comes with the kit, so you’re all set)
• Crochet hooks 5mm and 9mm
• Leather kit pieces (base, flap, straps, and hardware, also included in the kit)
• 8 stitch markers

How to Crochet a Small Backpack Free Pattern With T-shirt Yarn

• Start Strong:
  • Use the t-shirt yarn from the kit and leather base to make the bottom of the backpack. The kit’s instructions will help you make it just right. Also don’t forget to watch the video tutorial down below.
  • Keep going to make the main part of the backpack. The t-shirt yarn is thick, so it works up fast. You’ll see your backpack taking shape in no time. I used waistcoat crochet stitch. 
• The Flap:
  • Add the leather flap from the kit to make your backpack look even cooler. Attach it securely on top.
• Strap It Up:
  • Use the leather straps from the kit and the hardware to attach them to the backpack. These straps look good and make sure your backpack is tough and comfy.
• Finishing Touches:
  • Make sure everything is secure and in place. Your backpack will be stylish and ready to use

Why T-Shirt Yarn Matters: Making Your Project Awesome

• Super Strong: The t-shirt yarn in the kit is really good quality, so your creation will last a long time.
• Fast Fun: Because the t-shirt yarn is chunky, your crochet work will be done in just a few evenings.
• Made to Last: Mixing the great t-shirt yarn with the leather kit pieces means you’re making something that will stay awesome for a long time.

st(s) – stitch(es)

sk – skip                        

sl st – slip stitch

Special stitches

Waistcoat stitch (Ws)                   

waistcoat stitch or knit stitch works as a single crochet but instead of going under two loops you insert hook between the “legs” (“v”) of the next stitch, then work as a regular single crochet. 

Invisible slip stitch (Iss)

When you’re ready to join the round, draw up height of active loop on hook a little and remove your hook. Insert your hook into the first stitch of the round from the wrong side to the right side, pull the loop through the stitch into the wrong side. Make the loop larger, put your entire project through the loop. Tighten the loop by pulling the working yarn string. Reinsert the hook into the first st from the right side, pull a new loop from wrong side to right and ch 1.

Note: Backpack is started by crocheting around a leather base. You can make your backpack shorter by decreasing the number of rounds of the backpack wall (take away rounds between rounds 3-21). If you would like your backpack taller, add more rounds between rounds 3-21 in backpack walls. Follow Round 3a for non- removable straps if you want to crochet the square hardware ring of straps into the backpack, otherwise continue to Round 3. In removable straps the square hardware piece is crocheted in the backpack, in removable straps the square hardware piece is replaced with a gate ring that gets hooked to the backpack. Ch at the beginning of the row counts as a st.
