With these motifs you can make someone with the according star sign quite happy! It is a lovely and personal present for birthdays, Christmas or just as a small gift in between. Depending on the yarn you use, you can use the motifs for a dishcloth or soft washcloth. With bulky cotton yarn you can even make potholders. Below you will find different yarn suggestions.

The cloths are very easy to work with only knits and purls. The pattern explains very detailed and stitch by stitch how you can knit these motifs, so even beginners with basic knitting skills will succeed. And if there should be any questions, I`ll be happy to help!
