Introduction

Welcome to my channel! In today's video, I'm going to show you how to crochet a super cute miniature backpack. These backpacks are not only adorable but also very easy and fast to make. I will guide you step by step through the process, so even if you're new to crochet, you can easily follow along. I'm really proud of this cute design, so I hope you'll enjoy making it as much as I did. Let's get started!

Materials and Tools

To make this miniature backpack, you will need the following materials and tools:

• Thread (cotton thread size 3)
• Crochet hook (2.5 millimeters)
• Marker
• Scissors
• Needle
• Keyring
• Button or large bead

Making a Magic Loop

The first step in creating the backpack is to make a magic loop. This will serve as the foundation for your stitches. Start by creating a loop with the thread and insert your crochet hook into the loop. Pull the tail of the thread to close the loop. Now, you're ready to begin the first round.

Round 2: Working Increases

In the second round, we will be working increases to create more stitches. Place a marker in the first stitch to keep track of your rounds. Insert your hook into the first stitch and single crochet. Then, go back into the same stitch and single crochet again. This will give you two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. Continue working two single crochet stitches in each stitch until the end of the round.

Rounds 3-18: Working Single Crochet

From round 3 to round 18, we will be working single crochet stitches in each stitch. This will create a cylindrical shape for the body of the backpack. Simply insert your hook into each stitch and single crochet. Repeat this process for each round.

Creating the Front Flap Piece

To create the front flap piece of the backpack, repeat rounds 1 to 3 of the body part. This will give you a smaller circular piece. Then, continue with round 4 by slip stitching in the first 6 stitches. After that, work one single crochet in the first 2 stitches and one increase in the third stitch for a total of 3 times. This will create a buttonhole in the piece. Finish off the round and cut the yarn.

Assembling the Backpack

Now that you have all the pieces ready, it's time to assemble the backpack. Use the marker as a reference point and align the body and flap pieces. Use the needle and thread to sew them together, making sure to leave an opening for the main compartment. Once the pieces are securely attached, you can remove the marker.

Adding Handles and Straps

To add handles to your backpack, leave a bit of yarn at the beginning and create a slip knot. Chain 8 stitches and single crochet in each chain. Turn your work and slip stitch in each stitch. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and tie it off. Attach the handles to the sides of the backpack using the needle and thread.

Making the Shoulder Straps

For the shoulder straps of the backpack, leave a bit of yarn at the beginning and create a slip knot. Chain 13 stitches and single crochet in each chain. Turn your work and slip stitch in each stitch. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and tie it off. Attach the shoulder straps to the back of the backpack using the needle and thread.

Braiding the String

To create the string for the backpack, braid three strands of thread together. The braids should measure about 20 centimeters in length. Knot the ends of the braid to secure it.
