What size is this flap crossbody plastic canvas base?
The single cross shaped panel measures 14.5x15.5 Inch (36.8x39.4cm).

Which yarn works best on this mesh?
The wide grid suits chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and thick cord. Match the yarn thickness to the hole size so the mesh is fully covered.

How is this different from the round flap bag base?
This 14.5x15.5 Inch panel has square cut edges and a wide mesh for chunky yarn. The 13.2x14 Inch round flap base has curved edges and a fine mesh for thinner yarn.

Should I buy a pre cut base or a plain plastic canvas sheet?
A pre cut base is already shaped for one bag style, so you only stitch and join. The plain 20x13 Inch sheet is cut to any shape you draw. Pick the base if you want this exact bag.
