Chinese Zodiac
12 Design Set
The Chinese animal signs are a 12-year cycle used for dating the years and represent a cyclical concept of time, rather than the Western linear concept of time.
A popular folk method which reflected this method of recording years are the Twelve Animal Signs. Every year is assigned an animal name or "sign" according to a repeating cycle: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Boar (Pig). So every twelve years the same animal name or "sign" would reappear.
- All will fit your 4" x 4" hoop.
- Thread chart for each design is included.
- All have 2 thread colors.
- The English translation on each design is a thread color change so you can choose whether to embroider it.
