Those of you familiar with the background of DC Comic's Superman may know that the S on his chest is the Kryptonian symbol for hope. Kara Danvers/Supergirl in the 2015 Warner Bros. Television series "Supergirl" explains further, saying that it stands for the first part of her family motto which translates to "stronger together". I think with everything going on in the world, we all need to remember that motto.
I wove the sample band for this draft in King Cole Merino-Blend 4-ply in the colours mustard (yellow), sapphire (blue), and cranberry (red), with a mustard weft to refer to the classic Kryptonian colours. The band is twist-neutral for the pattern tablets. I highly recommend using a row counter of some sort as the sections where the pattern tablets all turn together are not the same length for each direction. This was done to make the colour of the S switch between yellow and blue. If you would prefer a shorter pattern repeat, weave only picks 1-48, but be aware that you will have a slight build-up of twist for each repeat.

As with all of the free drafts/patterns on this site, you are welcome to weave them, sell bands woven using them, and use them to teach other weavers, just as long as you state where you found them.
