Some of them have bobbles on top, while others are left plain. The whole thing is cinched together with a simple crochet belt.
Patchwork Cardigan Crochet Pattern
Showcasing the seven classic colors of denim jeans, this cardigan poncho is a total showstopper. The patchwork aesthetic comes together to form a comfortable and elegant garment that can be cinched at the waist or left open and loose.
Unexpected detailing comes from pops of golden bobbles on two of the 13 rectangles that shape the piece along with the two-tone tassel belt.
Darla Ruana Free Crochet Pattern
"The Darla Ruana is an oversized ruana made with a larger hook and and a less fancy style stitch but still really elegant looking, basically without all the fuss of a fancy stitch. This stitch pattern is crocheted in vertical stripes using double crochet stitches with chain spaces in between which works up in no time. I wanted the ruana to turn out lighter and more drapey than a heavy fabric so this is why a size 8mm crochet hook was used with an aran yarn. An oversized ruana is a perfect piece to add for the colder months as you can just throw it on over a sweater or a long sleeved top and it will look great on but it is also great for the cooler summer evenings."
