A Free Crochet Pattern
This Backpack is all about what little girls love. It's pink with lots of flowers and it can hold all the things they collect. Do your girls collect ALL THE THINGS like my girls do? Oh my some times I would rather avoid their room.
It has finally warmed up here in Toronto. We have moved into a neighborhood that has a lot of parks. There are four that we can go to that are in walking distance. We have been using this bag a lot. All of my daughter's park toys go in the bag and it sits by our front door ready to go. I have also been using my copy cat striped bag to hold my crocheting when we go to the park.

sc in loop} repeat 3 times for a total of 4 loops, ch 5, tr in starting sc pull
adjustable loop tight. (5 loops total)
Round 2: ch 1, sc in ch loop just made, ch 6,{sc in next

dc), in next ch sp, dc in the last 3 sc, sl st in first dc. Finish off. Weave
in your end.
Putting the motifs
together
Making sure as you go that all the motifs are facing the
same way (or in other words that the point is facing the same way on all of
them.)
Take 2 motifs and put them together backs facing each other
and points going the same direction, and sc one side together. Finish off.
Repeat this till you have a line of all 5 of the same color pentagons together.
Then take the first and last and put them together with a row os sc. to
complete the circle of pentagons. Repeat this with the next color.
Now to put the 2 colors together you will match up a point
with a dip, and so forth. With the back sides facing each dc will line up with
a sc, and each point space matches up with two dip spaces. (I’m sorry that
sounds really confusing) SO, Start with sc in the next 10 dc, one sc for the sp
or sps, sc in the next 10 dc. Repeat around, sl st in first sc. Finish off.
Weave in you ends.
