Making a no-sew fleece Ruana
The ruana, an open-front poncho, is the hottest trend in knitwear this season. In this video, we make a no-sew fleece ruana.
We're making a no-sew fleece ruana from the Travel Trio Three sewing pattern by Christine Jonson Patterns. There are also many tutorials on ruanas on the web. The turtleneck shown here is the Shirred Turtleneck - part of the same pattern, that also includes a Raglan Tee, a Raglan Turtleneck and an A-line skirt with or without front pockets.
This pattern is actually a collection of three garments, paired to make an outfit, perfect for traveling!
Pocket Skirt: Semi-fitted paneled A-line skirt with pockets. Elastic waist.
Multi-sized XS-XL.
Shirred Turtleneck/Raglan Tee: This top has long raglan sleeves and shirred yoke. The pattern also includes an alternative front pattern piece for a smooth and simple raglan top.
Multi-sized 4-22.
Ruana Wrap: Unstructured wrap with optional rounded or pointed hem.
One-size.
