Lunar Zodiac Ornament Knitting Pattern (PDF Download)

This downloadable knitting pattern features the twelve Lunar Zodiac animals, a prominent cultural tradition in several Asian cultures. The full 12-year cycle is represented with each year attributed to an animal associated with symbolic qualities.

The pattern includes charted motifs for all twelve animals, designed to be knit as ornament balls. Most motifs measure approximately 15 stitches high by 18 stitches wide. (Resulting in a finished ornament that is slightly larger than our Holiday Ornament pattern). We have also included charts for the English alphabet as part of this package to add initials to panels, if desired.

These ornaments are ideal for seasonal decorating, gift-giving, or creating meaningful keepsakes year after year. Knit a single animal to mark the birth year of someone special in your life, and add other designs to the remaining 3 panels created by each ball.

Pattern features:

Charts for all 12 Lunar Zodiac animal motifs
Charts for all letters of the alphabet
Written instructions with charts suitable for confident beginners and beyond
Blank panel templates to customize motifs for each knit ball
Designed for customization with color, yarn choice, and finishing details
