GAUGE:

15 sts + 19 rows = 4 in. [10cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS) before felting 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.

NOTES:

Results may vary based on water temperature, length of the cycle, and agitation provided in the washing machine. Cast on more sts for a wider bag and knit fewer rows for a shorter one.
