This is fun knitting and felting pattern that knits up quickly. The suggested yarn is Lamb's Pride Worsted Wool, which is absolutely beautiful when felted up. There is no lining necessary, since the piece is felted, and super sturdy. And of course, this pattern is so darn cute, who wouldn't want a Berry Bag! There are two sizes available - small (the fuchsia bag pictured) and large (the orange bag pictured).
