GAUGE:

Rnds 1-11 = 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.

NOTES:

1. Bag is worked in one piece in the rnd. At the end of each rnd, join with sl st in first st. Do not turn at the beg of rnds.
