There is one butterfly in "New Braids and Designs in Milanese Lace" by
Patricia Read and Lucy Kincaid.
There are also several butterfly patterns in "Birds, Bees and Butterflies"
by Edna Sutton and Mary Moseley. Some are designed for types of lace other
than Milanese, but the pattern for the Hong Kong Butterfly in Bruges Flower
Lace or the Hungarian Butterfly in Russian Tape Lace or the Antiguan
Butterfly in Duchesse lace could quite easily be carried out in Milanese.

piece of Milanese waiting in the wings with the pricking done and bobbins
wound).

Radmilla Zuman designed a nice one. I don't know how you can get it,

Radmila very kindly shared the pattern, i.e. a photo of the finished
lace, to Canadian Lacemaker Gazette. It is in Vo. 15, No. 3, Spring
2001 - you're on your own with figuring out the braids. For her class
the idea was that everyone's butterfly would be different.
There must be other butterfuly patterns for Milanese, such as in the
book by Anne Moore. or is it Louise Colgan's book - not being very
helpful here!
