The Ab Fab bag is both stylish and functional. Vary your yarn choice and either dress it up, sequins yarn anyone? Or keep it functional.
Gauge is not important for this pattern but will affect the finished size. It has been tested using both t-shirt yarn and two strands of cotton held together. My bag with t-shirt yarn measured 45cm wide and 36cm depth, gauge was 8hdc and 6 rows.
Using cotton held together and a 4.5 mm hook, my tester and I used between 200 to 300 metres of yarn. The first finished product was not that much smaller but had more stretch. Lining the bag he,pedal with this problem.
You will also require 2 bag handles or if you prefer? There are many articles available to make your own. However this may affect your yarn requirements.
