State Fair Backpack

Lion Brand® Hometown USATM

GAUGE:

8 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.

State Fair Backpack Reviewed by Lisa Sheffield on 2009-11-14 ****
I just finished this for my daughter! She loves it! It's a little smaller than what I had thought it would be, if I do another I will add more rows to make it a little bigger. It was really quick to make, so it would make a really nice gift!!
