This romantic Octagon Lace Throw is a vintage-inspired free crochet pattern that stretches your creative wings. Three different motifs, using join-as-you-go (JAYGO) method, exemplifying crochet lace.

The Scorpio Mittens use the same reversible stitch pattern as the Scorpio Raglan, Beanie, and Cowl, so you can make yourself a matching set.

The Scorpio Mittens is the fourth pattern in the Scorpio lineup, and it’s the most advanced of the bunch, giving you the opportunity to challenge yourself and truly master the art of interlocking crochet. The Scorpio Mittens introduce two new techniques: joining two pieces of fabric together while working in pattern and decreasing in interlocking pattern.

Just like the all the other designs in the #MyZodiacSweater collection, for these reversible mittens you’ll only have to work with 1 color at a time, dropping the inactive yarn at the start of a round and picking it back up at the start of the new round.

Like most CrochetHighway patterns, the Scorpio Mittens come with step-by-step instructions and tutorial photos including on how to check for gauge. The instructions and tutorial photos walk you through every step along the way with no guesswork left for you. The pattern also comes with a stitch chart for the gauge swatch.

The pattern calls for DK weight yarn in at least 1 main color (MC), and 1 contrast color (CC). My testers used a variety of yarns and colors to show off this design - check out the tester photo gallery on the blog to find all the details on yarns and yardages from my testers!

The Scorpio is mysterious and has many secrets to reveal. Be it the reversible nature, or the different styles the pattern comes in, this design is the epitome of versatile. Wear it right side out to show off the starry pattern, or turn it wrong side out and have a checkered sweater. Opt for a wool fiber and the snuggly, oversized version for the ultimate cozy fit. Or go for a summer fiber like cotton and pick the fitted, slim style with short sleeves for your new favorite summer tee.

Since it is worked from the top down, the pattern provides ample customization opportunity in terms of sleeve and body length, allowing you to create the perfect sweater for your body.

Like most CrochetHighway patterns, the Scorpio Raglan comes with step-by-step instructions and tutorial photos including on how to check for gauge, how to complete the yoke, how to split for sleeves, how to pick up stitches for sleeves. The pattern also comes with a Round tracker to help you keep track of the yoke repeats, as well as a stitch chart for the gauge swatch.

The Scorpio is a raglan sweater constructed from the top down. The pattern provides two fit options:
• an oversized fit with 6 to 10 inches or 15 to 25 of positive ease at the bust and long, roomy sleeves that gather at the cuff in a bubble. (Pictured in LB Collection® Superwash Merino Yarn)
• a slim fit with -2 to 2 inches or -5 to +5 cm of ease at the bust and narrower short sleeves. (Pictured in Coboo® Yarn). I’m wearing size 3 with 2” (5 cm) of negative ease around the bust. Denim as main color and Silver as contrast color. See below for quantitites of main color / contrast color in Coboo:
