Nauti Knitter's Ruana and Shawl

Both the shawl and ruana instructions are included in this pattern. The Nauti Knitter’s Shawl is a lightweight, extra wide and long shawl, with drop stitch and garter stitch details. It can be seamed at the ends to form an infinity shawl that can be looped around the neck multiple times, or worn unseamed as an oversized scarf/shawl. The Nauti Knitter’s Ruana is a lightweight, oversized ruana with drop stitch and garter stitch details. It is made by creating two rectangular panels and seaming them together at the back and the sides (optional). **This pattern includes a link to a video tutorial of the waves drop stitch** **Difficulty Level** Adventurous Beginner **Size Information:** The Nauti Knitter's Shawl measures approximately 15” wide x 90” long. The Nauti Knitter’s Ruana is intended to have approximately 10-20” of positive ease around the bust. There is no waist or hip shaping to this ruana and it’s intended to fit oversized and flowy.
