Blackberry Creek Bag knitting pattern

Blackberry Creek Bag

The sound of running water; the scent of green growing things; the taste of the blackberry you just picked from the bush. Lacy leaves frame an abundance of delicious blackberries in this bag. Choose a yarn with good stitch definition to make the lace stand out.
