This pattern was created so that anyone can easily adjust it to fit their particular size/shape of frame.

As with all patterns, this one is written to the designers tension (my tension) which is a very loose tension.

I recommend doing a swatch on row 1-3 before beginning.

However, this pattern is easily adjusted to your tension and gauge by simply increasing the number of your increase rows.

As you work the pattern it will bunch up and not look right, but that is okay because as you continue the purse will take its correct shape.
