GAUGE:

16 hdc and 12 rows = 4 inches [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.

Shoulder Bag Reviewed by Enid Gonzalez-Ramirez on 2008-04-14 *****
I made this bag in Lion Cotton. Instead of crocheting the shoulder strap I braided the thread and left tufts at the end. Every time I use it someone notices and asks if I made it. It's quick, easy and very comfortable to use. I love it!
