Gauge isn’t critical in this beginner-friendly project. Depending on your tension, you may want to go down a hook size on the handle part, to make it less stretchy, and/or go up a hook size on the mesh part, to make it more stretchy!

Please note that this is not an exact pattern, but more of a guide. It’s an easy stitch that you can customize to different purse handles, yarn weights, sizes, etc.
