There is no specific gauge needed. The bag will need to be felted/ fulled once completed, so it will definitely look oversized before that step.

The pattern is made in one piece, the only graft needed is at the end, connecting both ends of the handle togerther. I use a kitchener stitch to that effect.

This bag is available in a wide range of colors and you can purchase it as a kit with the yarn on my site.
