This MKAL is a lovely cabled ruana. Not the standard, flat rectangle of fabric, this one has been given shape by yours truly. We begin and end with triangles for pizazz. Our project has lovely, original cables that are worked up the back, then split for neck. The front has cables and shaping with a sweater clamp for a spiffy end. Instructions included for adding optional buttons to give it even more umph and you can seam the sides for a coat. I feel there might be several of this style in my repertoire, stay tuned.

If you’d like a larger size, or would like to order yarn (as of 9/2022) PM me about getting more yarn at YarnFairy1@gmail.com Designed initially as an MKAL which begins 10-6-21 with four clues.
