All the colours of the desert flowers in one ruana!
Named after an Australian Desert!

This is a one size fits most design made using mostly the very colourful Stylecraft Batik Dk. The model is 5 Ft 7 inches tall.

Basic stitches are used to create this design with surface slip stitch across many of the rows to create added texture.

It is made in panels. 2 front and one larger back panel. The flower squares are added later and I use a flat seam join to create a nice even, smooth seam.

This has a button closure if you require one and I also placed a third button on the shoulder so the ruana can be work with one side attach to one shoulder.
