It is a truth universally acknowledged that every good motif must be in want of a CAL. This is the first square of 2024 and its simple elegance is attributed to none other than Jane Austen’s famous characters — the Miss Bennets (you can choose which of the Miss Bennets you like best). With easy repeats of stitches, this elegant motif is worked up in no time! Combine it with any of the other ‘Miss’ or ‘Mister’ motifs scheduled for release monthly and you’ll have a lovely afghan or throw comprised of titular characters to snuggle with whenever you re-read these classic tales.
