Jordana Paige Knitter's Purse


(Pronounced "ave - leen"), Aibhlinn is a recycled cotton cowl that can be worn over your head or around your neck.

Knitted with swirling cables in the round with bobbles for trim. I came up with this design while I was looking for a fall accessory to refresh my faded denim jacket.
