GAUGE:
10 1/2 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) in Seed stitch. 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.

Satchel Grande Reviewed by patty will on 2010-11-19
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the hints the reviewers have given me. I can just about make anything as long as there are directions. I'm pretty sure about adding the cording for added strength but I have no clue on how to line the satchel. Please help and please keep your reviews coming because I love to knit and crochet and you guys are really creative.
