Color Block Crochet Ruana

"The Color Block Ruana crochet pattern is a stylish and versatile layering piece that’s perfect for any season. This easy-level project is suitable for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. The ruana is worked in three separate panels—two for the front and one for the back—that are then seamed at the shoulders for a beautiful, open-front design. With its simple yet striking color block pattern, you can customize this ruana in your favorite colors, making it a truly unique garment. The pattern uses worsted-weight yarn and offers four size options (XS/S, M/L, XL/2X, and 3X/4X/5X) to ensure a comfortable fit. The front panels are slightly narrower than the back, giving the piece a natural flow and flattering drape. The textured ribbing at the hem adds a cozy touch, while the body features an interesting combination of stitches, including sc, hdc2tog, and chain spaces, creating a subtle texture throughout. This ruana is the perfect addition to your wardrobe, whether you’re layering it over a casual outfit or dressing up for cooler days. Choose your favorite yarn and colors, and enjoy crafting this stylish, customizable piece!"
