| This fantastic mesh market bag made from organic cotton will stretch to hold almost anything -- from your grocery shopping to your beach gear. The handle is continuously knit, so it can't come off. |

GAUGE: 16 stitches by 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) with US #8 (5mm) 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.

| Love this bag. Used mine to take take stuff to the pool this summer. Holds all the sunscreen, kids goggles, sunglasses, etc... First time using circular needles, and worked out great.
