Scorpio Raglan (Crochet)
SKU: CROHIG01
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.
Just like the all the other designs in the #MyZodiacSweater collection, for this sweater 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.
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:
