Fun Bag

Lion Brand® Fun Fur® - Microspun

GAUGE:

13 sts + 26 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row) with Fun Fur on larger needles.
17 sts + 24 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with Microspun on smaller needles. 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:

Wool-Ease in #148 Turquoise can be used in place of Microspun.

Fun Bag Reviewed by Paula Stanion on 2011-07-16 *****
I made two of these, but I used two strands of Fun Fur - one solid color and one multi-color. I love the Fun Fur colors. I get a lot of compliments on these purses.
