A beautiful, open lace pattern knit in a simple split rectangle, then seamed for a few inches under the arms, makes a magical shape! Part shawl, part open cardigan, this ruana sits beautifully on your shoulders and adds flair and color to a simple summer dress, or a touch of warmth on a cool fall evening. One of my favorite shapes, knit in several of my favorite indulgent yarns!
