The pattern was a Design CAL

Recently I created a new type of crochet-a-longs and they are called Design CALs. They are hosted as part of my “The Crochet Club” membership and can only be accessed as a member.

These Design CALs are super special because members have input on how the pattern turns out. We start the pattern with an idea and every week the pattern or theme is extended until it’s done. All through video tutorials, one each week. But some ideas are also just finished in one week with one video, like the Tiny Backpack.

There is a new Design CAL each month now. Currently, we’re working on one small crochet pattern per week. In October 2023, we focus on Thanksgiving, and then Christmas and Winter patterns.

This Tiny Backpack crochet pattern was designed in July 2023 in The Crochet Club. It was a highly requested pattern and made a fun project.

Crocheting a Backpack

This tiny backpack boasts all the features of my mini backpack, just in a smaller scale. It has carry straps, a loop for hanging, a button closure, and even a tiny drawstring. Actually, it’s a great jumping-off point if you want to learn how a backpack is constructed but don’t have time for a larger project right now.

I used Premier Minikins to make this crochet backpack keychain but you could substitute any sport-weight cotton, acrylic, or blend. It only uses less than 100 yards of yarn so this is a great project to use up your scraps.
