You know my friend, kids are energetic and busy like bees when they are outdoor activities. This little Bumble Bee Backpack is perfect for kids to carry out their own stuff. It has a cute smiling bumble bee face on the flap, yellow and black stripes on the body of the bag and small wings, too. I hope you will love this and make!

RS facing, place safety eyes between rows 15 and 16 on the flap. And stitch mouth below the eyes.
Sew button between rows 20 and 21 in the middle of the front side of the bag.
Shoulder straps: I got these straps from old school bag. 😀 First I sew about 9″ long strap to make a loop between two holes on the top of the back. And attached 19″ long two straps as shown in the photo above (upper straps on between two holes and the lower straps on row 4 at the bottom corners).
Hi Cinta, In round 36 the last round of the bag, you will see the bolded texts where should add the stitch markers. >> Attach stitch markers on the 8th st and 51st st. So the flap should start in these marked stitches including 8th and 51 st. 🙂 I hope you can understand.
Thanks for sharing your pattern – it is SO cute!
Thank you. 🙂 So glad you like it.
Have a qurstion. After you ch 16 do you slip stitch before you star round 1?
No, you are going to work both sides of the foundation chains.
