Does anyone have one and be able to email me a picture of the garment? Or does anyone know where I can find the pattern in line?

The main difference is a ruana has a slit down the front so one doesn't have to pull it over their head. Otherwise it is the same shape and size. They are usually wool (very often alpaca). Hope that helps. -------------------- TheCarolinaScotsman Ya'll drive safe and come back soon.

Mersea My mother's ruana (bought in Colombia, S.A.) is 50inches by 50 inches. That is not counting the fringe on two sides (the front and back) that is two or three inches long. The slit in the middle of the front is 26 inches long. It is a very heavy vicuna wool. Hope this helps. ------------------------------- lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxx------------------- lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl lxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl ------------------------------- I'm not an artist and that's not to scale, but I hope you get the idea. The long dashes would be the front and back and would have the fringe (optional), the slit is in the front. It is worn much like a poncho, except that with the slit it may be "put around you" rather than pulled over your head.
