NANA Beanie Baby Merino Wool 47 Morze Północne

The classic NANA beanie has an extended back and is handmade with knitting needles from 100% Baby Merino wool in a medium weight. It is designed for the autumn and winter season and has a smooth feel that works well for sensitive skin. Availability depends on the size you choose — each variant shows whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.

When NANA is a good choice

This beanie is a good option if you are looking for a smooth, stretchy beanie without a turn-up brim, one that sits well around the ears while still having a looser, extended back. The medium-weight knit and rib stitch work well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, when you want warmth without a typically fluffy, heavy knit. Shade 47 North Sea is a muted, cool green that does not dominate an outfit, so it can work with both sporty and more classic clothes. If you need a very structured beanie that holds its shape firmly, or a particularly protective hat for extreme frost, this style may feel too soft and springy.

Against the skin and material

The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification, which means the yarn has been tested for harmful substances and is also approved for use next to delicate children's skin. The smooth knit surface, the absence of a fuzzy halo and the soft yarn twist help reduce the prickly feel, which may matter if your forehead or ears are sensitive. If your skin reacts to the presence of wool itself, it is worth assuming that even a gentle merino beanie may not feel fully comfortable.

How the beanie fits and drapes

NANA is a classic beanie without a folded brim, handmade with knitting needles in a single rib stitch. This allows it to adapt well to the head circumference while staying springy and without creating a hard band across the forehead. The extended back falls naturally, creating the characteristic slightly loose shape at the back — without excessive bulk at the crown. The rib works in both directions, so the beanie stays secure when you move, but you can still shift it slightly to show more of the forehead or pull it lower over the ears.

Practical features

• Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth on cold days without creating a very heavy, bulky layer on the head.
• Single rib stitch – gives the beanie elasticity and spring, so it adapts to the shape of the head and returns to form after being taken off.
• Extended beanie back – creates a looser shape at the back of the head, which may be comfortable with tied-up hair or if you do not like a close-fitting crown.
• Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – reduces the risk of irritation around the forehead and ears and does not pick up small bits of fluff from outerwear as easily.
• Medium resistance to pilling – suitable for normal, frequent wear, but it does require mindful care and avoiding heavy friction against hoods or rough scarves.
• Handmade with knitting needles – means careful control of yarn tension and stitch structure, which helps the beanie sit evenly on the head and fit consistently.
• Certified Baby Merino yarn – adds reassurance for sensitive skin and makes the choice easier for anyone who pays attention to fibre content and material sourcing.

Details and matching accessories

The beanie is finished with a faux leather label that can be easily unclipped for washing, making care easier and helping protect the applique from losing its shape. If you prefer a more defined finish, you can order a colour-matched pom-pom for your beanie made from the same Baby Merino yarn.

You can pair the NANA beanie with shawls, wraps and snoods from the same yarn category to create a consistent set for colder months — you can see the full range of accessories in matching shawls, wraps and snoods. To help the beanie keep its shape and merino qualities, it is worth checking the short guide to wool care and following the recommendations for hand washing and drying flat.
