100% cotton is highly recommended, as it is much sturdier with a lot less stretch than acrylic or any other types of yarn. A cotton blend may be ok.

Easily customisable with ribbons, lining, fastenings and appliqués and looks great in any colour that you choose!

Gauge isn’t essential for this project, but one square inch I got 5sc x 5sc as a guide.

The size ended up being 11.5 inches wide by 14 inches tall before handles. My handles were 37 inches long.
