About the Zodiac Crochet Tapestry Series
This zodiac crochet tapestry series was released one sign at a time, following the astrological calendar. Each zodiac sign was designed as its own tapestry tile, allowing you to crochet your sign, a loved one’s sign, or slowly build the entire collection over time.
At the center of the series is the moon and stars crochet tapestry, a larger centerpiece that anchors the full design. In astrology, the moon represents intuition, emotion, and the inner self — making it the perfect focal point for the zodiac.
Together, the collection includes:
- 12 individual zodiac sign tapestry patterns
- 1 moon and stars centerpiece tapestry
- A complete zodiac crochet tapestry display when combined
Crochet the Patterns Your Way
One of the things I love most about this series is its flexibility.
You can:
- Crochet a single zodiac sign tapestry as a standalone piece
- Create a small grouping of signs for a personalized wall display
- Crochet the entire zodiac tapestry pattern set for a full astrological statement
Each pattern is written to work beautifully on its own, while still fitting seamlessly into the larger design when displayed together.

The tutorial include an overview of how to read this type of pattern as well as tips and method for color changing. You can find the video tutorial further down in this post or access it straight away on YouTube here.

What makes this crochet pattern eco-friendly and sustainable?
THE YARN: I use only sustainable and eco-friendly yarn that has been ethically grown/raised and processed, putting the people and the planet first. This is why I chose 100% cotton yarn for this pattern series.
THE SLOW YARN MOVEMENT: I’m participating in the Slow Yarn Movement. There’s far too much to talk about here, but please take a few minutes to learn about what this means by reading the article I wrote about the Slow Yarn Movement as part of my 6-part Sustainable Crochet Series.
If you’re interested in learning more about sustainable crochet you can read all about it in the 6-part series I wrote covering everything about Sustainable Crochet and how to implement it into your own crafting starting today!
Zodiac Crochet Tapestry Pattern Guide:
Size & Gauge:
Gauge is not particularly important with this project. You will be creating several small tiles using the yarn and hook size of your choice. The completed size of your tile depends on that yarn and hook size choice as well. The lighter weight the yarn, paired with a smaller hook, the smaller your tile will be.
I always use worsted weight yarn paired with a 4.50 mm hook so that’s what I recommend in this pattern. This will create individual tiles with the following approximate measurements:
Size:
-Individual zodiac symbol tiles measure about 6.25″ each
-Moon & Stars tapestry tile measures 12.5″ x 12.5″
-Total tapestry measurement of 25.25″ wide x 26″ tall.
Materials you will need:
Yarn:
I recommend using 100% cotton for tapestry crochet because it’s stitch definition is hard to beat. Also, it has a nice density to it which appeals to blocking, allowing it to lay flat.
I use worsted weight “I Love This Cotton” by Hobby Lobby because it comes in a ton of colors and is easily accessible to me. Feel free to use whatever you most like that matches the colors closely (if you want to use the accurate colors of the zodiac signs).
Other tools and materials needed:
- Crochet Hook Size: 4.50 mm
- Tapestry Needle (bent tips make all the difference!)
- Stitch Markers
- Scissors
Abbreviations used in the Zodiac Crochet Tapestry Series:
ch – chain
st – stitch
hk – hook
sc – single crochet
About the Graph-Style Design
The tiles for this zodiac crochet pattern are created in a grid or graph-style format, offering a unique and visually engaging way to crochet this stunning tapestry. Rather than traditional row-by-row written instructions, the pattern is presented as a 26-stitch by 26-row grid, where each square represents a single crochet stitch.
How It Works:
- Visual Design: The grid acts like a map, with each square color-coded to show whether it should be crocheted in gray or natural/white. This allows you to see the entire design at a glance.
- Color Changes: By following the grid, you’ll switch between colors to bring the Capricorn zodiac symbol to life.
- Single Crochet Stitches: The pattern uses single crochet stitches throughout, making it approachable for both beginners and experienced crocheters familiar with colorwork techniques.
Tips for Crocheting Grid-Style Patterns
If you’re not familiar with this style of crochet pattern, I encourage you to watch the video tutorial I put together to make this an easy, enjoyable project for you.
How to Read a Graph-Style Pattern:
These patterns are worked from the bottom up. When working the rows, you’ll begin with Row 1 at the bottom of the tapestry and work your way to the top.
Beginning with Row 1, you’ll read the graph from right-to-left if you’re right handed, or from left-to-right if you’re left handed. Then, for Row 2 you’ll read it in the opposite direction: from left-to-right if you’re right handed, or right-to-left if you’re left handed. This method continues every other row.
Odd numbered rows are always the right side/front. Even numbered rows are always the wrong side/back. This is important to note when color changing because you’ll want the evidence of the color change to remain on the back size, no matter when row you’re working.
To make the most of this grid-style pattern, here are some additional helpful tips:
- Prepare Your Colors: Set up your different colored yarns for smooth transitions between colors. Small balls can help keep things organized.
- Count Carefully: Each square on the grid equals one single crochet stitch, so keep track of your stitch count as you move across rows.
- Tidy Color Changes: There are a couple of techniques to use with color changing in tapestry crochet. Based on the number of colors and the number of color changes required, I use a combination of 1) working with multiple balls of yarn and dropping it at color changes (not carrying it) and 2) carrying the un-used color of yarn underneath the color you’re using. I demonstrate both of these in the video tutorial.
- Use Stitch Markers: Mark the start and end of rows if needed, especially as the pattern grows.
- Take Breaks to Review: Pause occasionally to step back to audit and admire your work—it’s rewarding to see the symbols come to life!
