The Belted Ruana is a flexible layering piece, which can be worn multiple ways. Constructed in two panels, it uses the granny stitch in a stranded color-work pattern. It’s an oversized piece that works for all body types and is written in 3 sizes, to fit XS-5XL.

The Belted Ruana is constructed in two identical panels (left and right) sewn together to create a ruana, which can be worn multiple ways. Each panel is worked in granny clusters of 3 double crochet stitches, with single crochet edging. The stranded colorwork pattern is created by carrying the unused color inside the stitches. The belt is made in rows of single crochet stitches.
