| I do my best to show the colours as accurately as possible in the photos, but sometimes my phone has its own ideas ;) Please remember that shades may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings. If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |
HELLI is a handmade merino wool beanie of medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a slightly elongated back. Availability depends on the selected option — click your size to check whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
For everyday wear and the colder months
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for everyday outings during the autumn and winter season and want a calm, versatile look. The light grey colour pairs easily with different coats and jackets and does not give a sporty or overly decorative effect. It is also a good option if the feel of the fabric against the skin matters to you and you want to avoid any obvious roughness. If you are looking for a very thick beanie, a wide turn-up, or a close fit right along the forehead, this style may not give that effect.
Yarn and feel when worn
This model is made from 100% Baby Merino. When choosing yarns like this, I pay attention to how they feel in real contact with the skin, which is why this version is also suitable for sensitive skin; the yarn is also certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Wool needs gentle care, so the beanie should be hand washed; a short guide is available here: wool care.
A shape that sits naturally without a turn-up
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a slightly elongated back. This shape gives a more relaxed fit on the head than short, close-set styles. Because the lower edge is not folded up, the front looks lighter and less layered around the forehead. In practice, it works best for people who like a simple shape and a softer drape in knitwear rather than a firm, structured fit.
Key features in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – natural, soft contact with the skin, without added synthetic fibres.
- Medium weight – suitable for cool autumn and winter days, without the feel of a very heavy winter hat.
- Smooth knit surface without halo – gives the beanie a clean, neat look that pairs easily with different types of outerwear.
- Double rib – the knit has flexibility and adapts better to the shape of the head during wear.
- No turn-up – the style has a simpler profile and does not add an extra layer at the forehead line.
- Elongated back – the beanie sits more loosely and does not end right at the top of the head.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made in a slower process, with attention to stitch and shape throughout the work.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like to complete this model, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
