The book compiles the knitting patterns featured in season 3 of "Knit and Crochet Now", the top knit and crochet show on the US TV channel PBS. A basic techniques section gives readers the information they need to get started in knitting or freshen up their skills. The book also includes a DVD, which features the television segments for 12 knitted afghan squares from season 3. This popular part of the show teaches viewers a new stitch and provides them an afghan pattern (written instructions in the book) on which they can show off their skills.
