Description

Loyal is a lace and cabled ruana — a versatile piece that can be worn as a shawl, vest, or top! The elegant motif is meditative to knit in its simple repetition. Directions are included for side-button, center-button, and side-seaming options. Loyal is knit flat, from the bottom of the back panel up, then split at the back neck and worked down the front, one panel at a time. Optional buttonholes are worked into the edges of the front panels. The motif is a meditative combination of lace and cables, and all cabling can be done as twisted stitches without a cable needle. The lace columns are anchored with elegantly wrapped stitches, lending a sophisticated, regal feel to the piece.

Versatility is the cornerstone of this design. A ruana is a one-piece garment/accessory that can be worn many ways, and with several finishing options including buttons and seaming, you can customize Loyal to fit your desired silhouette, aesthetic, and occasion.

The design itself was inspired by classic femininity and the inherent beauty in its dichotomies—softness and strength, romance and steadfastness, adaptability and loyalty. Crafting this project is a labor of detail and diligence, and the end result is a timeless piece that you can wear with ease.
