Lion Brand Recycled Cotton

GAUGE:

11 dc = 4 in. (10 cm) over pattern. 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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

Market Bag Reviewed by Melynda on 2013-05-02 *****
This is a great bag. I've made two so far, one in cotton and one acrylic, and have requests for more. Works up quickly and holds a lot of stuff. Love it!
