Description from book:

You don’t have to knit this ribbon afghan at your favorite coffee house, but its three colors--looking like latte, cappuccino, and espresso--make it tempting to do so. The afghan is made by knitting 36 blocks that you attach to one another--the result is a unique design reminiscent of Celtic spirals. This project will give intermediate knitters a good challenge.
