From In Complete Stitches:

The Milestone Backpack is a modern, slimline drawstring backpack pattern. It comes in three sizes and features a drawstring closure at the top and an external zipped front pocket, with a hidden slip pocket inside it. To the rear there is a curved slip pocket, secured with a snap fastener. Internally you can leave it plain and simple or choose to add a slip pocket (subdivided or gently secured with a snap fastener) and/or a welt zipped pocket. And of course there has to be a lanyard strap to secure a key or, perhaps, a Milestone Pouch?
