Elevate your autumn style with the captivating Forager Ruana and Shawl crochet pattern. Adorned with climbing branches, delicate leaves, and whimsical berries, embrace boho vibes and the beauty of nature by wearing an accessory that offers endless styling options.
Natalia's Forager Ruana and Shawl embodies a bohemian aesthetic that's perfect for layering, seeing you through the in-between seasons in comfort and style. Whether you choose to make a shawl or ruana, both options are ideal for staying cosy while showcasing the beauty of nature through the mosaic crochet stitches, created using Scheepjes' Scrumptious yarn.
Suitable for adventurous beginners, the simple shape of this design, which can be be made in two different versions, allows the beautiful stitches to take centre stage. For the shawl, drape it across your shoulders like a wrap or wear it as a scarf. For the ruana, try styling it with the back seam in the middle for a cascading effect, or slightly cross the fronts for added intrigue; for a unique twist, drape one front over the opposite shoulder, or cross them with the back seam positioned on one shoulder.
