I knitted a cashmere hat for my gift exchange and it was a pretty popular item. It got "stolen" for the maximum allowed time! For this year, being not too creative in that respect, I planned on sticking to what worked last time and make another hat. That gave me the idea to design one for the occasion. The stitch pattern and color both need to be suitable for men and women. Something classic that blends well with the luxurious cashmere. Then the White Elephant Hat was born. Whether you plan to make this for your knit-worthy person or for yourself, I hope you will enjoy the process of making this beautiful timeless accessory. ------------------------------ **Techniques Used** Cast on: German twisted Bind off: cinched Decreases: k2tog, ssk Please click on the following link for video references on certain techniques used in this pattern: https://tinyurl.com/KnitWhiteElephant ------------------------------ **Finished Measurements and Yardage Requirements** Circumference: 18 (20) in | 45.75 (50.75) cm Length: 9.5 (10) in | 24 (25.5) cm Size 1: 170 y | 154 m | 35 g (approx) Size 2: 192 y | 176 m | 40 g (approx) *This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.* Post your work in progress and your finished hat on Instagram #whiteelephanthat @yellowcayenne [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-mittens [2]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-cowl
