Zodiac Cloths...

I've been trying to finish these since November but the holidays got in the way every time. I had hoped to make it by New Years but they're only a few weeks late. I really like how they turned out and have been gifted to lots of family and friends. These would be great for gifts year round and I can see making more cloths for upcoming birthday's.

Pattern: Zodiac Cloths
Source: Kris Knits on Ravelry
Yarn: Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid
Needles: US 3 / 3.25 mm

Size: 5 1/2" x 5 1/2"

I made each written pattern with a corresponding chart for the dishcloth. From the sets that I've already made, I've managed to get about 2-2½ cloths out of one ball of Lily's Sugar'n Cream Solid Yarn. Though you can use any kitchen cotton you prefer.


These small cloths are so fast to knit up. I can knit up one cloth in a little less than an hour.

I tried used cotton yarn colors that would match the gemstones of the month that each astrological sign most represents. It was hard to find exact color matches so I used what I had in my stash.
