Ruana is complete

I got the free pattern and had to modify it a bit for tension and size:

and this is what it looks like in "Bravo" wool, 3stitches = 1 inch in 5mm needles. its the first time I have knitted sideways.



Finished Ruana

Knitted from the side, used about 158 stitches and a 5mm needle



R1 knit
R2 pearl
R3 Knit
R4 knit

The wool called 'Bravo' ( mohair and silk ) I got at a sale in NYC at a shop in east manhattan called " wool gathering"! thanks for the discount.


It just came out perfect and has been much admired.
here is me in it
I used a bit of the green to give it a slightly designer look! ( actually I had bought less red wool during my us Trip)



THANKS Barbara Breiter !
