This is a cute backpack for a toddler, teen or fun loving adult!

It is constructed from the base up with the lid being the top of the mushroom.

You need to use cotton for the stalk and straps and I used a chenille DK from Rico Nilli Nilli for the top.

You may need extra yarn for the straps or less if you are scaling for different sized wearers. The yarn quoted worked for my size (UK size 16)
