Crusader Shawl

### Dreamy Superhero Shawl Knitting Pattern In my dreams, I’m a caped crusader, wielding incredible superpowers to bring justice to the world. But as a passionate knitter, I prefer the warmth and comfort of a soft shawl over a traditional superhero costume. This simple yet stunning shawl design allows the beauty of your chosen yarn to take center stage while keeping your secret identity under wraps. Knit with worsted weight yarn and adorned with delicate fingering weight stripes, this shawl is as functional as it is stylish (and perfect for those moments when you need a little aerodynamic flair!). #### **Pattern Specifications:** - **Size:** 48” wide by 22” deep, making it an ideal accessory for any occasion. - **Yarn:** Use *Dream in Color Classy with Cashmere* (70% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon, 10% Cashmere; 200 yards/4oz) in shade K Chameleon (MC) along with *Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere* (70% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon, 10% Cashmere; 400 yards/4oz) in color Beach Fog (CC).
