With the Lunar New Year just around the corner, I thought now would be the perfect time to share my annual Lunar New Year Zodiac Animal banner along with an animal crochet pattern of the animal of the year. The Lunar Animal for 2023 is the rabbit which is the fourth animal in the Chinese zodiac wheel. Rabbits symbolize longevity, peace, and prosperity. Those born under the year of the rabbit are said to be gentle spirits who are kind, responsible, vigilant, witty, and approachable.
