My Son's Bookbag *Pattern*

My son love's the show "Go Diego, Go!"... It seems like he just watches it for Diego's rescue pack, his magical backpack that does any and everything (much like Dora the Explorer), so I decided to make him one. This is my own pattern, and my son loves it. His daycare teachers say he refuses to take it off throughout the day!!
Now that my son is older, I have an updated pattern for a bigger version of this bag here

Hope U Enjoy! I'd love to see your finished work, so please feel free to email me pictures so I can feature your work on my blog!
