Crochet Needful Tweed Tote

Lion Brand^® Homespun^®

GAUGE:

14 dc = 4" [10 cm] on larger hook.
16 dc = 4" [10 cm] on smaller hook. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
