PATTERN NOTES
This ruana is created by making two identical panels that are seamed at the center back and leaving a split at the front. Thanks to the construction, each side mirrors the other. The visible seam is created using slip stitches, and can be worn with either the visible side out or smooth side out, depending on your preference
