About the Designer:
Gabrielle has been crocheting for over 20 years. With the support of her family she started her Etsy shop in 2014. In 2022 she has set a goal to become a designer published in magazines. The goal was quickly achieved thanks to the faith that Crochet Foundry & Crochet World had in her designs. Working with others in the crochet community has been the highlight of her recent adventures. Gabby hopes to continue to learn and even inspire others to pick up a hook!
“Shawl Me Some Love” is an elegant and airy crochet shawl that is perfect for summer nights. This shawl features flowing hearts that are crocheted into the design. The use of bulky yarn makes this shawl a quick and easy project to complete. The finished shawl is not only stunning but also functional, providing warmth and comfort to the wearer. Whether you are looking to make something special for yourself or to gift to a loved one, “Shawl Me Some Love” is a perfect pattern choice that is sure to impress. Get ready to crochet your way into love!
