Windy City Tote
Lion Brand® Fishermen's Wool®
GAUGE: 16 sts + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) before felting. 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.

| Windy City Tote Reviewed by Karyn Lyon on 2012-02-01 |
 |
| I love this bag! It was easy and felted just as easy. The size is exactly what is specified in the pattern (I used a gauge swatch). I purchased handles instead of knitting them. I'll be making another one.
