This is the ninth pattern from Knit the Stars - a 12 pattern collection of Zodiac-inspired socks. By purchasing the ebook you will automatically receive this, all prior and subsequent patterns in the collection when they are released.


Those born under Scorpio possess a keen intuition and are determined to succeed. Some may go so far as to describe them as stubborn. This sometimes intense nature is the key to their strength of purpose.

The pattern includes written instructions for toe up and cuff down construction with two needles using the Magic Loop method but any circular knitting method can be used. Instructions are given for a short row toe and heel.
