Kits for this pattern using the Madelinetosh JBW Exclusive colorway, Scorpio, can also be purchased here.

Antares, named for the brightest star in the Scorpio constellation, is a slouch worked from the bottom up. It incorporates a very simple lace pattern that is easy to memorize. It was originally designed for Jimmy Beans Wool, using one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK in the exclusive colorway “Scorpio”, dyed as a part of their Toshstrology Collection. The pattern is written for adults or younger children, so whether for yourself or for a loved one, this one skein project is perfect to keep you warm and still look gorgeous!
