GAUGE:

8 sts + 9 rows = 4 in. [10 cm] in sc (single crochet) with larger hook using 1 strand each of A and B held together. 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 less 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.

Nice bag but changed handles Reviewed by LaShawn Wright on 2008-04-20
I made two versions on this bag. I had a little trouble finding matching yarn for the Lion Suede but they turned out great. I also changed the handles by just crocheting some cause I couldn't find this type of handle. It is super fast and fairly easy.
