Out and About - By Annie

Carry everything you need for a day trip in this handy knapsack.

This compact and feature-rich backpack is sized to work well for adults as well as children. Just adjust the lengths of the shoulder straps (as directed in the pattern) to make it perfect for everyone, from 4-year-olds to 90-year-olds.

You'll love the way the zippers extend all the way to the bottom of the main and front compartments for full access to each section. The compartments open wide, making it easy to pack and find items. No more digging around inside a pack!

The bag also features lots of zippered and slip pockets to keep small items organized and separated. Cell phone users will love the optional hidden pocket, which is perfect for keeping a phone available for quick access, yet out of sight.

SMALL: 11½"H x 6" to 10"W x 2½" to 3¾"D with padded strap extending to 26"

REGULAR: 11½"H x 6" to 10"W x 2½" to 3¾"D with padded strap extending to 34"
