About this pattern

A round medallion for the zodiac sign Scorpio, stitched edge to edge: a gold rim round a navy night sky. A pale gold scorpion seen from above walks to the left, with two open pincers, eight legs, a ringed body and a jointed tail that swings round and curls forward to a sting. One four-point star stands above it and the Scorpio glyph below. No outline. Full crosses only. It is 51 by 51 stitches and uses three thread colors.

51 stitches wide by 51 high: 2,053 full cross stitches in 3 DMC colors (Very Dark Navy Blue 939, Medium Topaz 783, Light Straw 3822).
