The Gabby Love Cowl was inspired by my niece Gabrielle. Gabrielle has always admired my chunky-knit designs (especially cowls) and always sends me images of bulky knits to make her. When I got word that I would be designing with Malabrigo Rasta, I was beyond excited. Being a huge fan of Rasta, I could not wait to get started on the design process. In fact, I immediately knew I wanted to design something that I knew my 22-year-old niece would adore. With its fun hugsand-kisses cabled pattern and the stylish drawstring, this cozy cowl is sure to bring love to whoever wears it.
