GAUGE:
10 sts + 17 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Loop Stitch with larger needles.
13 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Moss Diamond Stitch with smaller needles.
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: Plush Purse Reviewed by Barbara Whiteside on 2009-02-13
I made this purse and it is beautiful. Pattern was easy to follow. I am very pleased. Looks just like the picture. I gave it as a gift. Now I will make one for myself in a different color.
