| 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. |

When it’s worth choosing this style
This style is for those looking for a hat for the colder months, but without a rough feel against the forehead and ears. It works well for everyday wear: with a jacket, coat and simple winter outfits, especially if you’re looking for a muted, deep brown shade. Its clean, understated shape makes it easy to wear with different styles. If you need a very thin hat to fit under a helmet, or a style specifically for severe frost and strong wind, this version may not be the first choice.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I use 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen with soft contact against the skin in mind. The smooth surface without a halo and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification make it easier to choose for those who pay attention not only to fibre content, but also to everyday comfort.
It is still wool, so it keeps its qualities best with careful care; you’ll find a short guide here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
The beanie shape is close-fitting, but it doesn’t look stiff. The folded cuff gives a neat line around the face, and the overall look is clean and simple, without unnecessary details. From experience, I know this kind of fit works well when the hat is meant to stay on for longer, including after going into a shop or getting into the car. If you prefer a clearly loose, strongly oversized look, a different style will suit you better.
What it offers in everyday wear
- Medium weight – suitable warmth for autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Double rib – improves stretch, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head and stays in place more securely.
- Turned-up construction – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, where the cold is usually felt most.
- Smooth knit without a halo – helps reduce that “itchy” wool feeling and gives the surface a clean, even look.
- Handmade on knitting needles – keeps the character of a crafted piece and allows for careful finishing of the details.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, small signs of use may appear over time, as is typical for natural wool.
- Hand wash – requires gentler care, but this helps the knit keep its shape and quality for longer.
Extras and finishing touches
If you’d like to add to this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. It also pairs well with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you’d like a coordinated set for the colder season.
