Steps to make Granny Square Backpack:

Creating the Center Flower:

Start the center:

Make a slip knot and chain 4. Join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle.

First round:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then make 11 double crochets into the circle. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3.

Adding Petals:

Change color for the petals.
Attach new color yarn with a knot and pull up a loop, chain 4.
In each stitch around, work a cluster of triple crochets summed one into the other to form petals. Complete 12 petals.
Close each petal round with a slip stitch.

Creating the Granny Square:

First round of square:

In each gap between petals, work 3 triple crochets.

Corners:

For square corners, in every fourth gap, chain 3 between sets of triple crochets instead of 2.
Close the round with a slip stitch.

Making the Backpack Panels:

Repeat the granny square process to make multiple squares (as specified this will include front, back, side panels, and the bottom of the backpack).
Each side of the backpack will consist of a specific number of squares depending on your desired size.

Constructing the Backpack:

Join the squares:

Sew or crochet the squares together to form the body of the backpack (front, back, sides, and bottom).

Adding straps:

Crochet straps by chaining to the desired length and working half double crochets in each chain; these can be adjusted for size to fit children or teenagers.
