Happy New Year! Luxe Links Wrap

Happy New Year to one and all! I would like to thank all my subscribers for a great year, and I hope I've provided you with the fun, "qwik" knitting projects you were looking for. I love getting your comments and questions, so keep them coming!
This wrap has a touch of glitter and glitz to kick your year off to a shining start!
Again, a safe, happy and healthy New Year to All! And have a fabulous knitting year! Marla
Materials:
1 Artyarns Skein Silk Rhapsody Glitter
1 Artyarns Skein Silk Mohair
Approximate Size: 10 x 75in
Pair Size 13 Knitting Needles
Crochet hook for attaching the fringe

Notes:
*Fringe - see instructions at end of pattern - some people like to cut the fringe fi rst to ensure they have enough for entire scarf.
Abbreviations:
K1 - knit one stitch
YO (yarn over - yarn wraps over needle)
DYO (Double Yarn Over - yarn wraps over needle twice)
Preparation: Wind Silk Rhapsody glitter and Silk Mohair together to create your spectacular knitting yarn. The way to do it - wind each yarn into a ball, then wind the two balls together.
Because of yardage differences, you may have excess silk mohair!
