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.

Downloadable Pattern: Branching Out Bag Reviewed by Jackeline Iseler on 2008-12-28 ***
It turned okay, not exactly like the picture. The handles were a bit droopy and the pattern turn out really tight. Probably my own fault. I still sport it out!
