4. Graphic Backpack
This is a really cool pattern by Paintbox Yarns. It’s full of colors and because of the contrast some of them get a neon effect. Look at the light blue on a dark background – it’s almost shining!
The geometric design is very casual, but there are definitely some folklore inspirations of Peru there. And it works up really fast!
