Pattern - The Rucksack

$26.95

Claim your right to roam with this fine rucksack on your back. Make it in traditional British oilskin or a sturdy canvas. Fully lined with 3 divided internal pockets. The pattern includes a cross-body bag as an alternative.

Skill level; Intermediate

Suggested fabric: simple cotton, or a duck canvas will give it more body and stability.

Pattern Errata: Pattern piece 10 (handle): The gap between the rivet holes should be 6cm on each side. It is currently 5cm on one side and 6cm on the other.

Please note you need to use our split cowhide leather straps and not the veg tan. These are thinner so will work much better with the buckles.
