There are some back packs on this page.

I was thinking about a modified version of the booga bag. but longer and wider, what do you think?

Someone around here did make a ‘bigger booga.’ You might want to try a search, or maybe someone will pipe up.

It seems to me that there have been a few people that made larger {usually double the size} Boogas. The main comment I remember seeing is that they suggested using larger needles and doubling the yarn to make it stronger. If you plan on using it as a book bag, I would definitely recommend that.

too bad I forgot to check back last night. I already started the bottom with a larger needle but didn’t double the yarn. So I will have to do that! Thanks for your advise! :smiley:
