The character of Mary Bertison from Elizabeth Kostova’s novel, The Swan Thieves, inspired this lightweight shawl. Mary is an asymmetrical shawl worked side-to-side with alternating garter panels and lace panels. It is designed to reflect the cautious grace and almost-rebellious devotion that is integral to Mary Bertison’s spirit.

The shawl can be made larger or smaller simply by adding or removing lace repeats.
