The Zodiac Blanket is a blanket that illustrates the 12 Zodiac signs. It is made in interlocking crochet, a technique that consists of two crochet parts in different colors which are interlinked and thereby they form a relief picture.

According to the technique: each of the 12 squares measures 40x38 windows.

Pattern also includes a guide for making a cushion out of the Zodiac signs.

The blanket is shown in three types of yarn. The size of the blanket depends on the chosen yarn:
