Explore some simple Tunisian stitches to create a beautiful, functional ruana. I wanted to design something that was relatively straight forward, so that I could enjoy the rhythm of the stitches without constantly referring to the pattern. I used 9 balls of KIng Cole Fashion Aran. The size can be easily changed - make more repeats, or add additional rows of honeycomb at the bottom edges, to create a longer ruana.
