GAUGE:

13 sts = 4" (10 cm) with larger hook 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 less 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.

Eight -Pocket Two-Tone Carryall Tote Reviewed by Tiffany on 2008-04-03 *****
I made this tote in 2 days, and it's very cute. I did the bag in tan and the straps in white. I'm going to give it to my friend as a diaper bag (all the pockets on the outside are perfect for things like bottles, ect.) I left the bottom of the straps on one side not attached so you could roll up a changing pad and put it there. It perfect!
