GAUGE:
1 ripple = 3 1/2 in. (9 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.

Bridesmaid Purse Reviewed by Mary Talbott on 2012-03-12
I made this purse and it does need a lining. I used a G hook and it still came out smaller than the dimensions. I only used one skein as well. Will try a larger hook or increase the number of chains with my next purse. I didn't use the back loops because I wasn't used to that small of thread and was a challenge getting used to the thread. My next one I will try the back loops. It does make into a beautiful purse.
