NOTES

Ruanna is worked in 3 pieces; 2 long Lace Panels and 1 short Center Panel.
Lace Panels beg and end with rows of Border pattern. Rows between the beg and end borders are
worked in V-st Lace pattern with first and last 3 sts of each row in Border pattern. The Center Panel is
worked entirely in Border pattern.
The Panels are sewn together at side edges, with the Center Panel between the 2 Lace Panels.
V-st Lace pattern and Border pattern can be worked from written instructions or by following the
Stitch Diagrams.
The wonderful thing about this Ruanna is that after the first Panel is completed, it can be worn on its
own until you finish the other 2 Panels and sew them all together!

This is a beautiful Ruana, and I think it would be great for anytime. The written pattern is well done and I appreciate the chart for the stitch pattern and how to place the panels together. Using the V stitch in this one will make it warm but airy, and look great as well. I'm looking forward to making this one.
