Pattern Description:

Superman is a favorite hero in our household. One of my just-turned-three-year-olds is constantly running around in a red cape and declaring himself to be him. I wanted to make something special for his recent birthday - and that something was a Superman! At 12" tall, he's perfect for hugging and playtime, and the crocheting involved is fairly simple. (Be warned, though: the logo on his chest will have to be embroidered. By you.) Up, up, and away!
