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 Bean Wool, using one skein of Madelinetosh Tosh Merino DK in the exclusive colorway "Scorpio", dyed as a part of the 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!

Lovely pattern but disappointed because there are several errors in the pattern. I'm sorry to say it could have been written with more clarity as it regards # of repeats within the sections. There is a miscount of stitches in a number of places. A typographical error as well.
I even joined his group in Ravelry, the only entry as of this date is the entry I made and at that it took awhile for him to get back to me. He did confirm the errors I found but made no mention of if or how the corrections will be made so I hope this is done for those considering purchasing the pattern.
And I asked if the pattern had been 'test knitted' since these errors would have been discovered then.
