Let me tell you a little bit about the story of how Aalin came te be. My big sis loves wearing ruanas/capes. It’s her birthday in March and I said I would make her one and asked what colours. She came back saying she wanted one colour and it had to be black (you guessed right, she doesn’t crochet or knit lol). Now I could have just crocheted a simple black one, but wanted it to be that little bit special and designed what I think is a very elegant pattern in mosaic for just one colour.

This pattern is for overlay mosaic with no flaps, no special stitches, designed for one colour and includes full details for a throw in DK, a throw and cushion cover in Aran and a scarf and ruana/cape in worsted weight yarn.
