Frostbeat
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.
Size US 7 16-inch circular knitting needle (or size 7 straight knitting needles if knitting flat)
1stitch marker (if knitting in the round)
Tapestry needle
Patons Classic Wool Merino, much less than 1 skein (100 g/226 yd)
(or yarn and color of your choice in to give gauge below)
Gauge: 20 stitches and 26 rows equal 4 inches
