Light breeze carries the quintessence of summer on its wings - scents of wildflowers, warmth of heated cobblestones, salty spray of the sea. Playfulness and magic of the summer breeze inspired this piece.

Vertical stripes, lots of airy lace, comfortably shaped shoulders, and simple straight silhouette make Breeze Ruana a lovely addition to summer wardrobes. Finetuning the design to perfectly match your needs is a breeze (sorry!) with the directions for adjusting the length, adding optional ties or seaming the sides included in the pattern.

Ruana can be worked in any number of colors and is perfect for using up leftover yarn or mini skeins. Alternating stripes keep you entertained and are very satisfying to knit. Garter stitch works as a background for two unusual lace patterns that are easy to recreate with the video tutorials provided.
