Bacy Afghan Sguare
By Emily Milliman
Yarn:l30 yds of Plymouth worsted merino superwash Size:12x 12 Gauge: 5 sts per inch on size US 7 CO Cast On KKnit PPurl pm place marker s1 Slip stitch purl wise wyib With yarn in back wyif With yarn in front In 2013 I made the goal of designing one afghan square per month in honor of a different Jane Austen Character. January's edition is for that enigmatic hero we all love: Darcy. The stark lattice work of the back is contrasted dramatically with the soft inviting dimples of the front. Choose whichever side to showcase on your quilt. Enjoy!
