How to Crochet a Punch BackPack?

It is easy to crochet a punch backpack if you know the basic crochet stitches. Follow these general steps to make your favorite punch pack with Lantern Moon wooden crochet hooks, made from precious ebony wood.

Step 1 Choose the Base

● For circular - Make a magic ring and then add stitches to it.

● For Rectangular shape, use a single or double crochet stitch in US terms. But in the UK pattern, single crochet (SC) is double and double crochet (DC) is treble crochet (TR)

● For a denser or more resilient base, use Tunisian crochet basic stitches if you feel comfortable doing so.

Step 2: Build the Body

● When the base is finished, begin building the body from the top down. Here, Tunisian crochet is perfect, since it gives your backpack a stronger texture that makes it strong enough to support larger objects.

● Depending on the shape you choose, work in rows or rounds. Make buttonholes or leave gaps for fasteners like zippers or drawstrings.

Step 3: Add Straps

● The straps must be both comfortable and sturdy. For longevity, use cotton yarn; for additional thickness, use single crochet stitches (SC).

● Use a finishing needle to secure the long strap that you just have created.

Step 4: Add Pockets

● You can include inside and external pockets to hold tiny items.

Step 5: Finishing Touch

● At last, weave all the loose ends with a finishing needle. Verify that your backpack is ready for use by checking all seams and edges.

Tips to Crochet a Punch BackPack

● Choose a durable yarn, like cotton or acrylic, to create a sturdy bag.

● Use a larger hook for creating the main body of the bag and a smaller hook for the straps. For the right size, choose the Lantern Moon Radiance crochet hook set that provides multiple options in common sizes.

● Before starting a main project, make a swatch to check the tension and appearance.
