Diamond Ruana invites you to explore a small collection of simple Tunisian crochet stitches, combined to create a beautiful and practical garment. Designed with ease and enjoyment in mind, this project is intentionally straightforward, allowing you to settle into the rhythm of the stitches without needing to constantly refer back to the pattern.
The sample shown uses an aran yarn, resulting in a cosy, versatile ruana that’s perfect for layering. Sizing is easily adjustable: add extra pattern repeats for additional width, or work more honeycomb rows along the lower edges to create a longer length. This flexibility makes the Diamond Ruana a relaxing, customisable project you can truly make your own. Pattern is written in English and uses UK terms.
