Star Sign Stash Mittens - SCORPIO

Discover a fun and creative stash yarn project designed to utilize those odd little remnants of yarn! This pattern is the tenth installment in a delightful series of 12 fingerless mitten patterns, each inspired by the unique qualities of the astrological signs. With this specific design, we celebrate the Water sign Scorpio, incorporating its distinctive symbol and working in the colors most commonly associated with this intense sign.

For Scorpio, you'll find rich reds and sophisticated greys, though we encourage you to explore your individual interpretation of Scorpio’s palette. The mittens are adorned with an eye-catching 'scorpion tail' border and feature a beautiful beaded edging. To personalize your mittens further, the Scorpio symbol is artfully added using duplicate stitch to enhance the finished product.

This versatile pattern is available in three sizes, catering to everyone from pre-teens to adults. Each pair of mittens requires approximately 30 to 35g of a main color in DK yarn, along with 12g for the border color and 5g of assorted oddments for added flair. The mittens are worked flat on single-point needles and are easily seamed together, making them an enjoyable and rewarding project for knitters of all skill levels.

Our comprehensive pattern includes detailed row-by-row instructions, complete with explanatory photos and size-specific charts to guide you in placing the motif accurately. While I have chosen to create my mittens using a superwash wool yarn, feel free to substitute other DK yarn options to suit your personal preferences!

Get ready to embrace your knitting skills and create a stunning pair of Scorpio-themed fingerless mittens that are perfect for keeping your hands warm while showcasing your unique style. This pattern not only allows you to use up your yarn stash, but also adds a touch of astrological flair to your accessory collection. Enjoy knitting!
