Meet Ophiuchus, the informal 13th member of the zodiac! In case you missed the news, if you were born between 29 November and 17 December, Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer aligns with the sun on your birthday. Strictly a constellation rather than a sign, Ophiuchus’ characteristics are rooted in healing (with serpent’s venom), education and high achiever status, represented by a regal yet approachable snake in an exclusive, online-only and free crochet pattern brought to you by Simply Crochet.
