Super Summer Backpack
Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)
GAUGE: 18 sts = 4 in. (10 cm) over Pattern 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.

| This was the perfect bag to keep my daughter's gym strip in at school. I did it in a baby blue color and it turned out quite nice.
