This crochet scorpion pattern is to honor one of my one of my favorite pets, Scorpius! Scorpius is a black Cave Scorpion, one of our more controversial pets, but a massive sweetie all the same. I wanted this crochet pattern to turn out cute, but still with that unique scorpion anatomy. I hope I’ve done him justice!

This crochet pattern should be a great display piece for one of the funnest, spookiest times of year too – Halloween! Along with my adorable crochet tarantula and frog, of course.

Crochet Equipment List

4mm crochet hook
100g DK black yarn
Toy safe stuffing
Safety eyes
10 pipe cleaners

This crochet pattern does involve a fair amount of hand sewing for the features. You’ll use your yarn needle to sew the shape of the face, and to give details to the plated thorax.

Most of this pattern will be worked in a continuous round, using your 4mm hook and black yarn. Although if you want to make a different type of scorpion you can swap out the black yarn for brown or red, depending on the variety.
