GAUGE:

8 sc + 10 rows = 4" [10 cm] with MC. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.

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.

Heart Bag Reviewed by chyrl slatton on 2009-02-13
Turned out wonderfully. I added a chain stitch to the flap and a button on the other side for closure. Made 2 diff. colors for Valentines Day for the gran-girls. Worked up fast and easy!! Very nice size for a little girl. Really special...thanks for a great pattern!
