The Storyteller’s Cloak Yarn Kit

The Storyteller’s Cloak Yarn Kit contains yarn to make Hilda Steyn’s beautiful crochet cloak.

The Storyteller’s Cloak is based on a ruana (pronounced roo-AH-nah). A ruana is a traditional Andean outer garment, similar to a poncho but with an open front, resembling a large, sleeveless blanket with a slit in front, offering warmth and style as a versatile wrap for cool weather. As a massive fan of The Traitors, I decided to include an optional hood for the ruana.

The garment consists of motives joined together, with textured border rows in between sections.
