Hand spun doubles were used. Knitting gauge not as important as checking swatch to be sure pattern looks the way you want with your yarn.

My popcorn bag, a.k.a. my “mystery project” a couple of weeks ago, resulted after I started working with samples of yarn.Popcorn stitch purse

I wanted a small shoulder bag made with the popcorn stitch. I chose garter stitch for the bottom and strap. The strap forms the sides of the bag, so the overall shape is more of a box than an envelope.

I had three colors of “doubles.” I had about 1-3/4 ounce of each peach and light brown, and 3 ounces of yellow. I’m not sure the yardage, since I didn’t measure it. My best estimate is about 20 yards each for the peach and light brown, and 36 yards for the yellow.

I used size 7 needles, and my gauge is: 7 stitches and 13 rows equal 2 inches.

:idea: I suggest you try a swatch. Yarns can vary, and if you like the pattern in the size needles you’re using, the gauge in this case doesn’t matter.
