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 crochet ruana pattern.

Stitches consist of ch-2 spaces and double crochet stitches and half double crochet stitches worked in back loops only.

This crochet pattern has been tested for clarity and accuracy. 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).

I am available to answer questions, should you have any.
