Lilies, bees, and butterflies make friendly neighbors. Lily & Friends Ruana celebrates that relationship by combining two stitch patterns with soft, shimmery Galileo to form a drapey hug of lace.

The main pattern produces a field of calla lilies with a naturally scalloped bottom edge, while the insertion pattern produces long chains of amiable bees. A sweet little butterfly friend can be pinned to perch on the shoulder.

The ruana is worked flat from the bottom up as three rectangles with garter edging. The pieces are bound off together at the shoulders using the 3-Needle Bind Off for a soft and easy joining.
