I love this pattern. I love most of the patterns you show even though on my limited income I can't afford the yarn normally. I am saving to purchase some of the yarn for a project for myself. I am 72 (almost 73) and have used several of the patterns with yarns I can afford to adapt them slightly and make shawls for nursing home residents. They don't look as nice because I have to use yarns like Caron One Pounder and RedHeart because of the way nursing homes do laundry. Again, I would like to thank you and your lovely designers for the gorgeous patterns because my nursing home residents love the items made for them.

If I had a knitting machine, I’d have these in EVERY COLOR I COULD FIND.

Chandi, I’m 74 and haven’t knitted for around 40 yrs. I found crochet better for me. But watching your videos like this make me want to try it again. Love your work so much❤️❤️❤️

[claremorley]

This pattern is easy and the yarn is gorgeous! As a former hand dyer I know how lovely lyocell and Merino wool are...and together they are fantastic! I've woven a number of capes like this and so have plenty...but I think one more in the knit pattern is in order. Whoever the hand dyer is does beautiful work - I just love the colours!

This is gorgeous, it looks like a Ruana! I love how versatile it can be. Thank you so much for demonstrating exactly how to join the 2 panels, I was getting a bit confused from the verbal directions, I am very much a visual learner! Thank you so much for sharing and making the tutorial and pattern! On my project list and saving the tutorial in my library!

[goodday]

Love this! Very simple and wearable! But honestly, the magic is in the yarn you use and the color flow! 🥰🥰

[barbaramartin]

This is a beautiful beginner pattern that looks more complicated than it actually is. I love the clever technique of joining the front panels and then continuing to construct the back with no seams. ❤️😊👍

Ahh! I was going bonkers looking for this kind of design. A rectangle wrap split in the middle. Thank you so much

[laurashelton]

Love love ❤️ easy repeats! Even though I AM a beginner knitter, easy repeats gives so many options that they are my absolute favorites!!

[chelsearoses]

I just finished crocheting a pink ruana and love it, so soft and comfy, now I want to try this pattern this year! Been working on challenging myself, especially with knitting because I've learned from videos mostly. But doesn't hurt to challenge myself crochet wise either, I love knitting and crocheting 😁🧶so many benefits to them
