Special Abbreviations and Stitches

csc = center of single crochet (insert hook between the two vertical legs of the sc). This stitch is known by other names, but I will use csc for this pattern.

Gauge

Gauge is not critical for this project. For reference:
Center to Round 6 = 4 inches.
For the Small bag, Round 5 measures just over 3 inches.
