GAUGE: 4 sts and 8 rows = 1" in garter st. 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.

| Hobo Bag Reviewed by Donna Pumphrey on 2008-06-28 |

| I knit two of these bags, one for myself and one for a friend. I agree that they stretch and need a liner if used as a purse, but I am now converting mine to a yarn bag and knitting some as "market bags." They stretch so well at the market, I tried mine and it was wonderful. They hold up well when crocheted in cotton.
