You will need 2 balls of Bernat Maker Home Dec (weight category 5 Bulky Chunky, ball size 250g / 8.8 oz, 317 yards / 290 m) main color and 1 ball of contrast color.
Recommended crochet hook is size 6 mm and smaller hook 5 mm for straps.

Beautiful. And like Coconutwater Tatyana said - finally a tutorial in English 👏👏👏 Is it just 1 ball of Bernat Deco yarn for each colour? Thank you.
Thank you so much! I needed 2 balls of Bernat Maker Home Dec main color and 1 ball of contrast color. I hope this helps! Happy crocheting!
How much yarn did you need to finish it? If you could tell me how many yards you needed that would be great

You explain this so beautifully easy. For a beginner like me, I feel I can actually try this. Thank you so much!💓🌹⭐😘
You’re welcome 😊 Have fun!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I just finished crocheting a slightly bigger version of this bag for my friend, using a thicker tshirt yarn as not much yarn selection is available in my country. I have made several adjustments like using sc instead of hdc for the base. Using the thicker yarn also gave me a bigger hole at the magic ring but decreasing the no. of crochet lesser than 12 as yours does not work as it'll not produce a flat base. At the end I just incorporate another row of sc to cover the big hole at the magic ring after completing the bag and it looks great! I also reduced the no. of row for the base so I ended up with around 56 stitch instead of 80 to compensate the thicker yarn.
Thank you, Naily! I'm so glad to hear your bag came out nice. It's a good idea to experiment and modify to make your work look pretty because we all crochet with different tension and when the yarn size is different, the outcome may not be the same. Good job and thank you for sharing your work process! Happy crocheting!
Very VERY pretty!!! And doesn’t look hard to do!! I DO believe I’m going to make this today!!! Thank you!! You are so easy to follow!! 💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much, Carol! Have fun! :)
I really liked the way u explained it..very easy to understand. THANK U..for such a beautiful tutorial!!
Thank you, Vijaya! I'm so glad to hear you find my tutorial helpful! Happy crocheting!
Thank u so much! This was easy peasy. I made it a convertible backpack/slingbag and made the strap separate to hold weight as a sling bag. I will be using ur pattern bunches. I wish I could add a picture.
Thank you, Iana! So glad to hear you found my tutorial helpful! I love experimenting and modifying patterns to my preference. Great idea to make it convertible slingbag! You can share your picture on my facebook page: facebook.com/handmadebyraine/ or on instagram @handmadebyraine.

Thanks for your beautiful backpack pattern! I am planning to make one for my granddaughter and wonder how to make the right size for a toddler.
Thank you Terry! It's quite a small backpack but you can use finer yarn to make it smaller or reduce base and main part rounds. Happy crocheting!
Beautiful backpack and easy to follow instructions. Thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial in English.
I have started my backpack with the regular yarn the stitches are not as pronounced as yours but it's ok.
Thanks again for your very clear instructions.
Hi Geneva! You are most welcome! I hope it came out well!
Your choice of yarn colours are toooo good ❤️
Oh thanks!
I have a question. Is it ok to use normal yarn to make this bag? Btw the instructions are so very clear so thank u! ❤️
Yes, absolutely! I like to experiment when crocheting, using different yarns etc. Let me know how it works out. Happy crocheting!
I’m making one with regular yarn and it’s so cute! I just increased the size by a little bit, and when you’re making the string holes I chained 2 in stead of 1.
These are beautiful! I've actually made your mini backpacks. I'm making one for all my family members and plan to put a quarter in each one and call it an "Aldi" backpack!
Thank you! What a great idea! I'm sure your family will love the gift of handmade "Aldi" backpack! :)
That's so adorable!
I bought this pattern! Thank you Raine!
Wonderful, thank you! Happy crocheting!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I'm completely new to crochet and I'm just wondering if I could really make this? I'm not sure what most of the words are when you crochet and I'm basically making this through just watching how you crochet do you think I'd be able to?
Hi Cherry! I'm so glad to hear you like my backpack pattern. I have to say it might be somewhat challenging for beginner crocheter but why not try it anyway! It's all about stepping out of our comfort zone, right! Hopefully my written pattern helps you along: handmadebyraine.com/how-to-crochet-backpack/

I love this! Gonna try to make one. Or more.

Thanks for the pattern tutorial. Just made my first bag and I love it
So glad to hear! You're most welcome!
Can it be made smaller for my 4, 7 and 9 year old great granddaughters? I love it.
Thank you! Yes, you can make less rounds for the base, or just use finer yarn and smaller size of hook. Happy crocheting!
Beautiful job!! Thank you for sharing!🤗
Thank you, Rayna! I like your name! :)

I'm doing my backpack rn, added one row at the base where I increased every 10th hdc it's turning out super cute! wish I could post pictures here. THANKS!!!
Thank you, Brandon! Great idea to add a round to make a bigger bag. I like to modify patterns like that when I need a different outcome!
Would you care to share your photos on Facebook or Instagram?

I was looking for a project to use up some acrylic worsted weight, do you think this bag would fair alright with it, or should I save this project for another time?
Thanks so much for this adorable bag tutorial!! Your accent is really pleasant and your instructions are pretty clear at first glance. Bless!
Thank you, Maggie! You could try, I think it has been done by other crocheters.

Hi
I really like your crochets, I want to make this bag. Is the thread required to be a specific type? Like twisted, braided. Or can we use any bulky yarn?
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply, it doesn't have to be Bernat Maker Home Dec, it can be a different bulky yarn for sure.
@@handmadebyraine thank you for your reply, I wish I can show you the bag I make 😍
Hello, it's a wonderful bag, I am 5'4, is this size bag for a child or adult. What will you suggest, if I wanted to make it a bit biger
Hi, Marina, it's not a big bag but I think it's suitable for both a child and adult. I would recommend either adding rounds to the base and bag body or use bigger size yarn to make the bag bigger.
Just one quick question on this bag. Would you think that the Hoooked Recycled Cotton Ribbon Yarn XL would work for this? It is 80% cotton and is still a 5 gauge yarn but looks a bit wider than what you use. I've never worked with the bernat deco or the ribbon yarn so I'm not sure how equivalent they'd be. But the bernat doesn't have tons of color options available right now so I'm hoping you'd think the ribbon yarn would work OK!
I don't see why not! I would definitely try.
Me: looks at comments complaining about this being one of the only tutorials in english
Also me: doesnt know the struggle cuz i speak 3 spoken languages and ASL😂
Oh haha same I know Italian and English as well as asl
If I don’t want to do the pattern, can I just continue with double or half double crochet instead?
Edit: I finished it. I used weight 4 red heart yarn in black. I didn’t do the pattern stitch, instead I did a simple half double crochet. I just did the one color. I used royal blue beads on the ends and for the button. I really like how it turned out. Thanks for the tutorial!
So glad to hear it, Avery! I would love to see your bag if you care to share. I have links in video description box.
Hi, this is so cute 😍 clean and clear instructions too thanks👍🏻 may I know if it's a t-shirt yarn or 12 ply? It would be helpful if you could tell me in 'ply' since I'm not much familiar yarn names and don't know the differnces between the sizes of yarn. I want my bag to be sturdy. Thanks again 😊
Thank you, Divya! The yarn I used, Bernat Maker Home Dec, is in weight category 5 - bulky and according to the ply chart it's 12-14 ply, chunky yarn. I hope this helps! Happy crocheting!
Wow... I r too good... Thanks I always wanted to explore my learning crocheting... Thanks so much now I can try these beautiful backpack.... Can u crochet some tops (summer tops) I always wanted to make one but never got good tutorial out... Please do it for me... Thanks lots of love and love... Petisha 😍🤩😘💖💋💕
Thank you so much, Petisha! I will add the summer top in my list of projects. That could be interesting to make! Thanks for another new idea! :)
@@handmadebyraine Always waiting for your new tutorial.... Love yaa... Tc
thank you so much i am going to make this bag for school
Most welcome 😊
Very well done. You're amazing
Thank you so much!
Hello! This tutorial looks fantastic. How do I make it bigger?
Thank you! You can use bigger yarn and add rounds to the bag base and body.
I was was knowing only double crochet and single that we used do on our saree borders.From your tutorial I learnt mini back pack and I made one.Thank you .How much yarn is required for project
I used Bernat Maker Home Dec - 2 balls green and 1 ball white. Ball size is 8.8 oz/250 g, 317 yds/290 m. You can get it on Amazon: amzn.to/2HOoc82
Thank you very much for the pattern
You’re welcome 😊
I love this ! Can’t wait to make it!
Thank you, Katelynn! Have fun making the backpack!
@@handmadebyraine super sister, keep it up, what a creative mind 👌
I love this. Thank you so much. Have been making the bag along side the tutorial but mine is so small compared to yours. Can I increase the rounds of the pattern stich instead of 12 rounds
Thank you! Sure, you can add rounds to make it bigger. Or if you don't use bulky yarn, you could crochet holding 2 strands together.
This is so cute, I wanna make it but i'm not sure what kind of yarn should I use because there's no type of yarn here in our country that matches yours. Please help me.
Thank you, Jane! You can use other types of bulky yarn, I've seen some backpacks made with my pattern using regular bulky yarn. The weight category of my yarn is no 5. I hope this helps! Happy crocheting!
@@handmadebyraine it helps! Thank youuuuuuu 😊
Is this stitch the same as the spice stitch? I made a bag for my sister using the 'spice stitch' as instructed by the tutorial and this looks very similar. Either way, I love it and as soon as I get the supplies, I'm definitely making this! Thank you for the tutorial!
You're welcome, Krista! If you mean "spike stitch", then yes it is.
@@handmadebyraine Oh, so that's what she was saying! She had a rather heavy accent so I could only go by what I thought I was hearing, haha. I'll be honest, I wasn't 100% convinced it was called 'spice' either, since I couldn't find other tutorials for the stitch in question! But yes, the Spike stitch makes much more sense!
Hi Krista! I didn't know I had heavy accent! :)
@@handmadebyraine Oh no, don't worry, you're perfectly fine! You speak very clearly, and I had no problem following along with your video. I was simply referring to a different tutorial I watched a couple months back, created by another individual - it was also a great tutorial and I got a lovely bag out of it, but while following along I thought she called it a 'spice stitch' but now I realize she was saying spike stitch. I'm still very knew to crochet so I didn't know any better! :D
Oh ok, didn't realize you were talking about another person.
I know this is an old video but i'm just looking into making myself a crochet bag and had a couple questions as I love this pattern!
1.Are the instructions/stitches american rather than english?
2.Would chunky yarn (england type) work or should i go up one type to the super bulky?
Thanks!
Yes, they are US crochet terms.
Please experiment with different sizes of yarn and hook.
Would doubling normal yarn work as well???? Love this tutorial!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I think it would, why not! I hope you will try, I'm curious to see how it worked! Thanks you and happy crocheting! :)
I’m curious about whether or not it did work out 😂?
monis19ful it did. Ended up using 4 strands together to get the rigidity I wanted. Final size ended bigger than tutorial but love it all the same
@@carlamatthew3681 What yarn did you use? What weight? Thanks
@@deborahgottschalk2344 it was yarn from a previous project that I reused so I’m not sure exactly. I cannot remember the brand but I think it was one weight 4, one weight 3 and two weight 2s.
would this be big enough to use for high school? i kinda want to make my own backpack for this year and i thought this one looked cute but i’m not sure if it will be big enough. i need it to at least be big enough to fit a chromebook.
I have the measurements in video description box. You can make it bigger by using thicker yarn and bigger hook.
Thank you for such a great tutorial video!!
Thank you, Kelly! I'm so glad you like it! :)
Wow I like it very much I will try
Have fun!
Hello, I really like this bag, I used Macrame 3mm and use 6 mm. It turned huge, what will you suggest
I haven't made it with any other yarn than Bernat Maker Dec which is really perfect for it. If Macrame yarn is too thick, just experiment using smaller size of yarn.
@@handmadebyraine thank you so much ❤️ I made it I wish I can show you
So fantastic thanks dear
Most welcome 😊
It is so lovely😍thank you😊
I'm glad you like it, thank you!
Great work with the back pack its beautiful
Thank you so much, Devon!
omg I love this method 😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much, Jessie! :)
This is a beautiful piece! Thanks for the tutorial. But i'd like to know how many stitches there should be in a round with the enclosed stitch? Is it still the same when you last do the hdc all around, which is 80st?
Hi Naftalia! Thank you and you are exactly right, there are always 80 stitches total on each round when you make the enclosed stitch pattern. Happy crocheting!
I'm making my gf this for her birthday how many yarn of color mint green did u use?
2 balls of Bernat Maker Home Dec weight category 5 Bulky Chunky, ball size 250g / 8.8 oz, 317 yards / 290 m.
Nice backpack!! Can you use Red Heart yarn?😊😊😊😊😁😁😁
Thank you! I'm sure you can. I have only used Bernat T-shirt yarn so far but I know crocheters use different types of yarn for this bag. Happy crocheting!
Did you end up making it? I want to do it with black red heart yarn thats weight 4.
Love the bags.. new subscriber so glad I found your channel 🤗
Thank you and welcome, Jasmine! Happy crocheting!
HI will t-shirt yarn work as well for this project and if what size t-shirt yarn😊
I think so. My bag is made with bulky yarn, I would recommend the same.
Thank you for your sharing,good n beauty backpack
Thank you so much, Chiara! :)
Hello ma'am. The hook which you used for the aqua color is 6mm so what is the size of the thread ? Both Aqua and Red ? Is it correct that the size of the hook should be equal to the size of the yarn ?
Hi, I used Bernat Maker Home Dec and it's size 5 - Bulky Chunky. All three colors are the same yarn, I used 6mm hook for bag and 5mm hook for straps. I hope this helps!
These are so adorable! Thank you!
Thank you, Sandy!
I live in the Philippines and they don't sell the yarn here. What would be a good substitute for this yarn? Can I use acrylic yarn or a combed cotton yarn for this, and instead of a size 5 yarn, 4 instead? Thank you.
Here is a great source for yarn substitution: yarnsub.com/
I recommend bulky yarn
Hi love this bag. Do you have written instructions for the bag?
Hi Carla, I sure do: handmadebyraine.com/how-to-crochet-backpack/
You can also find it in my video description box.
hi raine, are you going to be having any tutorials for a Christmas doily and placemat/holder for fork ,knife and spoon. to be placed on placemathave a good day.
Hi Nancy, I am looking for new ideas to make Christmas doily or placemat. I think I will make more Christmas tree ornaments too :)
Can you use t-shirt yarn
Great bag I like a lot.
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Thank u i made 1...i love it
You're welcome 😊
Many thanks to you 💝💝💝I did mine 🎊🎊
Wonderful! I'd love to see your bag if you care to share! I have links about sharing in my video description box.
Wow 🙈😘so cute💗💗💗
You are so kind!
Super 👌 definitely I will try sister 👌
Have fun!
When I follow your instructions exactly, I finish the 9th round of the base with like 100 st. You say it's supposed to be 80. I did it twice. I don't understand why it's off ..I'm just gonna keep going and hope it works.
Hi Danielle, I hope it worked out. It takes a lot of counting for sure :)
Hey! I was doing the base, but it keeps on curling instead of laying flat. Do you maybe know what I’m doing wrong, or what I can do to try and fix it?
Hi Jayni, I'm thinking you could try slightly smaller size of crochet hook to make the ring tighter and flatter. And you can add a round or two to get the size of base you want. I know it can be tricky, my tension changes from project to project.
handmadebyraine Thank you! I will try this and let you know how it goes
