Custom Mixed Color Bag

Lion Brand® Lion® Wool

GAUGE:

11 sts + 15 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st worked in the round (k every round) with 2 strands held together, before felting. 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.

Custom Mixed Color Bag Reviewed by Krystie DePue on 2009-12-27 *****
A great bag - I've made a couple of them jumping off from this pattern - they are large enough when felted to be used as an overnight/weekend bag.
