Each month starts with an emblem of the month number, such as a vibrant poppy wreath for May, a viny pumpkin for October, and sprigs of mistletoe and Christmas roses for December. Each emblem perfectly captures the spirit of the month, and the subsequent patterns for each month follow the seasonal theme.

Each design in the book is accompanied by step-by-step instructions for recreating it, including stitch types, thread colours by number, and thread type. There is also a detailed section on how to perform certain stitches and knots to guide beginners.
