DESCRIPTION
🎃 Note: This listing is for a digital crochet pattern only.
Two spooky-season granny squares, a checkerboard and a grinning ghost, combine to form one complete crochet backpack. This PDF pattern guides you through crocheting both squares, seaming them into a flat cross-shaped panel, folding that panel into the bag's body, then finishing off with the upper rounds, a woven drawstring closure, and an attached flap.
Designed for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters who are comfortable working from detailed, row-by-row directions.
