🧶 Lyvia Crochet Ruana Pattern

Designed by Marly Bird

The Lyvia Crochet Ruana is one of those pieces you’ll reach for again and again — the kind that feels just as good tossed over your shoulders as it looks in the mirror. ✨ Crocheted in cozy worsted weight wool, Lyvia balances airy lace with comforting warmth, creating a fabric that drapes beautifully while still feeling delightfully snuggly.

With its relaxed fit, thoughtful details, and effortless style, Lyvia is designed to move with you — layered over a dress, paired with jeans, or wrapped around like your favorite blanket-meets-accessory. Add in roomy pockets (yes, pockets! 🙌), a polished ribbed collar, and size-inclusive shaping, and you’ve got a handmade layer that feels both classic and fresh.

This is a satisfying, soothing crochet project with just enough stitch interest to keep things engaging — and the kind of finished piece that always earns compliments.
