Frostbeat--get it? Like…frostbite, but not. The opposite!

Don’t let icy ears keep you from enjoying the great outdoors when the temperature plummets. You can easily knit your Frostbeat in an evening. This is a truly unisex, reversible accessory. Offered in 4 sizes, it’s great for kids and adults. You have the option of knitting it flat or in the round. It features a narrower section of welted knitting that is to be worn at the nape of the neck.

Tapestry needle
