The little girl who inspired me to design this wrap showed me how to be a stardust sparkling superstar. Big dreams, unicorns and a pink sparkly shawl… what else does a girl need in life? ;-)

SuperStarDust has a slightly unusual crescent shape, with the neck standing up a bit. It ensures a nice fit when worn around the back of the neck but does not bother when worn in the front. With its variety of stitches, it tries to convey the joy, confidence and sparkles of that wonderful time in life: childhood.

Gauge:
With 4.5mm hook: A pattern repeat of 15 hdc and 8 rows (hdc) measures 10x10 cm/4x4”, after blocking.

Yarn:
√ #3 (DK) or #4 (Aran/Worsted) weight yarn: 150g, 440 meters/480 yards. The yarn used in the example was Made by ME Specials: Scarfie Cake (61% cotton, 34% acrylic, 5% polyester).

Recommended yarns for this pattern can be Lionbrand Shawl in a Ball or Shawl in a Cake, Scheepjes whirl (or any other gradient yarn) or Lionbrand Shawl in a Ball Metallic (for the sparkle effect). This list is by no means exhaustive, only meant to give some ideas. Many DK yarns lend themselves to make this shawl.
