GAUGE:
9 sc + 8 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm). 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.

Wee Backpack Reviewed by Garzon June on 2010-01-28
i agree with vilma of peru.
i made the pattern following exactly the pattern and it came out very wee indeed. but overall the pattern is easy to follow. i will make another one for a gift for a granddaughter and will add more rows.
