When this beanie is a good choice
The NANA style works well if you are looking for a merino wool beanie for colder days but do not like the feel of heavy, very chunky knitwear. It suits everyday wear in the city, with a jacket or coat, especially if you want a smooth finish without a fuzzy surface. The extended back gives it a more relaxed look, so it is better suited to those who like a softly slouchy beanie rather than a very close-fitting hat. If you prefer turn-up styles or an extremely thick, fluffy texture, this shape may not meet your expectations.
Feel against the skin
This beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with a smooth, non-fuzzy surface, which supports comfortable wear for sensitive skin. The even, soft yarn and Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification help make contact around the forehead and ears feel easy, without the rough touch often associated with many wool fibres. Even so, it is still wool, so if you are extremely sensitive, it is worth planning the first longer wear in calm conditions and watching how your skin reacts.
Shape, fit and how it looks on
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up brim, with a clearly extended back that falls into a soft slouch at the back of the head. The single rib throughout makes the knit flexible, helps it fit the head well, and lets it return to shape after wearing. The medium weight means the beanie does not create much bulk, so it is easy to slip under a hood. Purple Orchid is a calm, cool-toned shade of purple — noticeable, but not loud, which makes it easy to pair with neutral outerwear.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – makes it practical for the autumn–winter season without feeling too warm in mild above-freezing temperatures.
- Rib stitch throughout – provides stretch and a secure fit on the head, helping to reduce slipping during movement.
- Extended back – allows a looser shape at the back of the head, giving your hairstyle a bit more room and reducing flattening at the crown.
- No turn-up brim – reduces bulk around the forehead, which may be convenient under a hood or when worn with glasses.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – helps limit the beanie catching small bits of fluff from scarves or jackets, making it easier to keep a neat appearance.
- Medium pilling resistance – suitable for normal wear over many seasons, but it is best to avoid intensive rubbing, for example against Velcro or rough collars.
- Hand-knitted – gives an even stitch and consistent shape, though individual pieces may vary slightly from one another, which is typical of handmade work.
Extras, care and building a set
If you like a finishing detail at the top, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie in the same colour and made from the same yarn — if you add the pom-pom to your order, it will be sewn on and the beanie will arrive ready to wear. If you would like a coordinated set for colder days, see the available shawls, scarves and snoods in Baby Merino, which can be colour-matched with the NANA style.
This beanie requires hand washing; you can find detailed guidance in the short wool care guide, which helps extend the life of the knit and maintain its original shape.
