This pattern appealed to me because it was absolutely not what I was imagining. Fir cones are hard and prong-y and this wrap is soft and, well, wrap-y.
I was reasonably certain even before I opened it that the wrap wasn’t knitted from pinecones, but I did wonder for a moment, because I’m that kind of person.

I have never had an elephant infestation, but if I did, I’d prefer it were these elephants. They’re easier on the carpet, and they make better gifts for children than the full-sized ones.
Anybody want to hear an elephant joke?
