‘The Swan’ was designed and worked by Tamara P. Duvall, predominantly in Milanese Lace. It was originally for Jane Swanson, a lacemaking friend whom Tamara met through the internet mailing list Arachne, and originally appeared in International Old Lacers Bulletin (Spring 1999/2000 issue — Vol. 20, No.5).

A pair of mirror-image swans, one white and one black — reminiscent of Swan Lake, would make a nice gift for your favourite ballerina. Although the instructions here are given for a white swan based on the letter S, there is also a mirror image pricking if you wish to make a black swan facing in the opposite direction.
