I really do like this ruana. It is very versatile and can be worn in several different ways -- crossed in the front, open in the front, or one front panel over the shoulder. It fits a lot like a rectangular poncho, except that it is open in the front. As you can see from the photos, it has a beautiful drape in the back.

Thank you for checking out my ruana.

This crochet pattern is listed as INTERMEDIATE, but it is also suitable for a CONFIDENT BEGINNER. It uses standard US English crochet terminology. It has been tested for clarity and accuracy by a professional crochet designer. In addition, it contains step-by-step how-to photos. I am confident this pattern will make for a happy crochet experience (and a very nice ruana).

This ruana is basically one-size-fits-most, but I do provide a gauge for those wishing to achieve the same measurements. I also provide some guidelines for adjusting the size, should you wish to do so.
