Ranchita Ruana

Job type Test knit
Description

Inspired by the fabulous colors and scenery of the American Southwest, the Ranchita Ruana incorporates dual front pockets hidden in the sideways knitted stripes, while garter rows offset the solid stockinette body from the striped sections. Balanced use of the five accent colors maximizes the color effect. The easy intarsia back focal point and slightly variated front designs keep the knitter interested. The Ruana is finished perfectly with an added-on shawl collar. The knitted stripes result in the multi-colored fringe.
