Wrap yourself in warmth with the Ivelisse Ruana, a beautifully textured Tunisian crochet layering piece that feels like wearing your favourite blanket. Designed for comfort as well as style, this elegant ruana combines classic Tunisian stitches with delicate bobbles and subtle star motifs to create a fabric full of depth and interest.
Worked in three panels and joined at the shoulders, the construction is straightforward and enjoyable, making it an engaging project for adventurous beginners and intermediate Tunisian crocheters alike. Honeycomb stitch borders frame each panel and help minimise curling, giving the finished garment a polished look. Designed in a soft wool-blend aran yarn, the Ivelisse Ruana is wonderfully cosy for cooler days, and the pattern also includes instructions for an optional matching cowl using leftover yarn.
