This past Christmas my husband gifted me one ball of vicuña yarn, thinking that I would make a fancy version of my [Birthday Wish Scarf][3] with it. Instead, I used that gift to make him a cowl, which is now part of the White Elephant Collection; the original [White Elephant Hat][4] and [White Elephant Mittens][5]. The White Elephant Cowl is a beginner friendly project and it’s also a quick knit. Using just one ball of 25g cashmere or vicuña for the smaller version, it is also a great project to use the precious yarn that is heavenly soft next to skin. 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: longtail Bind off: Icelandic (or stretchy) ---------- **Finished Measurements and Yardage Requirements** Circumference: 18 (40) in | 45.75 (101.5) cm Height: 5 in | 12.75 cm Size 1: 120 y | 110 m | 25 g (approx) Size 2: 360 y | 330 m | 75 g (approx) *This pattern has been tech edited.* Post your work in progress and your finished cowl on Instagram #whiteelephantcowl @yellowcayenne [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-hat [2]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-mittens [3]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/birthday-wish-scarf [4]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-hat [5]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/white-elephant-mittens
