2023 Year of the Rabbit Garland ♥ Crochet Pattern

January 16, 2023

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.

Whenever I make these yearly garlands I always check Pantone’s Color of the year which for 2023 is Viva Magenta. I checked my yarn stash and found a small skein of magenta-colored yarn. I barely had enough yarn to make three banners so I choose a lavender-colored yarn to finish the last banner and used the same yarn to create the numbers on the banners. Feel free to use whatever colors you like though. If you end up making this garland feel free to tag me @mooeyandfriends and/or @mooeyscrochet so I can see your garland!

Row 6: ch 1, dec st. Total 1 st

Assembly
Crochet all around your rabbit pieces this will make them slightly bigger and more rounded. Weave all ends. Using the surface crochet technique, crochet each of the numbers in ‘2023’ onto each of the banner pieces. Weave yarn ends. For the rabbit, cut out some eyes and add yarn details on the rabbit’s mouth.

Were you born under the Year of the Rabbit?
