The New Year's wrap - "What do you have to lose? What are you waiting for?" - is a nice alternative to a jacket. It’s double-faced, which gives it heft and warmth and it’s easy to throw on to run out to get the mail or to toss over a coat for extra pizazz. 

The wrap is knitted on circular needles and then the tube that is formed is seamed at the ends. Three different yarn brands were used to achieve the desired color set, but of course, all this can be changed up by you. Decide what you want to wear it with and pick DK colors accordingly. You can even use leftover DK scraps too.
