Product Description
I love the look of big, flowy garments. Often times, when I try to recreate those looks on my small frame I end up looking stumpy, blocky or like I'm wearing an afghan. There is nothing wrong with afghans, I just don't want to wear one to work or the grocery store. This Ruana is designed to hit just below the hip in the front, to give you a bit more coverage in the back and to extend out to just below your elbow, to create balance and warmth.
You can style this garment many different ways, wearing it with a shawl collate, adding a button, throwing it over your shoulder or just letting it hang. Either way the shape is such that the Lisa Ruana will stay put.
This pattern has written directions, schematics, color charts (and written color work directions).
Lisa Cropped Ruana by Crochet Rebellion
What is Being Made
The Lisa Cropped Ruana is a shorter, contemporary take on the traditional ruana silhouette. Designed by Crochet Rebellion, this garment hits at the top of the hip in the front, offering a modern cropped length while providing slightly more coverage in the back. This asymmetrical approach creates a flattering, versatile layering piece suitable for various occasions and body types.
Craft and Techniques
This project is executed entirely in crochet, making it an excellent choice for intermediate-level crafters. Crochet construction allows for flexible shaping and the ability to create drape and flow characteristic of ruana-style garments. The technique-based approach enables customizable fit through strategic increases and decreases throughout the pattern.
Stitches and Construction
While specific stitch abbreviations are not detailed in the pattern documentation provided, the Lisa Cropped Ruana employs standard crochet stitches typical of garment construction. The pattern is designed to build from a foundation, working in rows or rounds to establish the ruana's distinctive draped shape and asymmetrical length.
Materials
- Yarn Weight: DK (Double Knit) weight yarn, which provides a balanced fabric weight ideal for wearable garments that drape beautifully without excessive bulk
- Hook: Appropriate crochet hook size for DK weight yarn (typically in the range of 3.5–4.5mm, depending on desired gauge and fabric density)
Difficulty Level
Rated as intermediate, the Lisa Cropped Ruana is suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle garment shaping and construction. The asymmetrical design and hip-length proportions require attention to pattern instructions and understanding of how to work increases and decreases to achieve the intended silhouette.
