Raindrop Ruana Crochet Pattern

The Raindrop Ruana Crochet Pattern has a unique stitch combination and a simple all-in-one construction. This lightweight piece is perfect for layering on a warm evening out.

The yarn I used is Shine Sport from WeCrochet. It’s a lightweight, cotton blend that is great for spring/summer garments. It has such beautiful drape! Plus, it’s very affordable which is always a bonus.
