Appealingly rugged, Frasier is a staunch companion for cold-weather adventures. Clever rib-and-cable ridges work up quickly in chunky Quarry, with plenty of cozy warmth to ward off errant chills. Knit a bevy of beanies to outfit loved ones large and small for rosy-cheeked sledding expeditions and woodland walks, or sport the slouchy/watchcap version on snowy afternoons spent sipping hot chocolate by the fire.
