1 of 12 zodiac constellation panels in the Zodiac Constellation Blanket. This pattern includes instructions to make the Aries panel, including a high resolution chart AND written instructions with color changes by row. More (accessible) versions to be added soon.

This is a fully charted pattern for colorwork, so although the instructions are written for back and forth crochet, the chart can also be used for corner to corner and knitting projects.

This is one of two FREE panels available

You can also purchase the full ebook and receive all 12 patterns at a discount!

One panel makes a great baby blanket, 4 panels are perfect for a throw or couch blanket, 6 panels fit a twin or twin XL bed (add a wide border to make it a queen), 9 panels make a great king size blanket or an XL queen, all 12 panels make a blanket big enough for the whole family!

Gauge: 10 sts and 10 rows = 3 inches
If you follow the gauge, the panel will measure 36 inches x 36 inches.

Materials Needed:

• Yarn in two colors -I used Impeccable by Loops and Threads in sapphire (dark blue) as my main color and smoke (very light blue) as my secondary color
• --> In total, I needed about 2 ½ to 3 skeins of the main color (sapphire) for each panel, 34 skeins in total. I used only 3 skeins of the secondary color (smoke) for the entire blanket including the border.
• 6mm J crochet hook or whatever size hook is needed to meet the gauge
• Stitch markers (optional but highly recommended)
• Tapestry needle
• Snips
