Pull on a pair and winter gets a lot friendlier. Rows of eight-point snowflakes circle each sock between bands of tiny diamonds and zigzag stitches, the pattern you picture on a ski lodge sweater, knit into the fabric itself rather than printed on top.

Choose your shade: Gray with red stars, Red with white stars and a bright red toe, Black with raspberry stars, Brown with white stars on tan, or Purple with cream stars and a plum toe. A solid color cuff and toe frame the pattern, so the sock still looks finished when your feet are up by the fire.

They are the easy yes for stockings, gift exchanges and the coworker who is always cold, and an even easier yes for the basket by your own front door. Collect all five and you have a snowflake for every weekday.
