| 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. |
A thin, handmade beanie in 100% baby merino, medium weight, in a light dusty rose shade, designed for the autumn-winter season with a slightly elongated back. Availability of a specific piece (ready to ship or made to order) can be checked after selecting your size on the product page.
When this style makes sense, and when another beanie may be a better choice
This style is for those looking for a smooth, stretchy beanie in natural yarn, without a turn-up, that sits well on the head and does not weigh down the hair. It works well as an everyday merino wool beanie for cool autumn days and winter in the city, when you want warmth without the feel of a heavy, very chunky knit. The muted light dusty rose shade pairs easily with neutral and pastel outerwear. If you are looking for a very fluffy, substantial beanie, or a close-fitting style with a folded brim, this shape may not meet your expectations.
Against the skin and yarn properties
The beanie is made from 100% baby merino, with no added fibres, using a yarn with a smooth, non-fuzzy surface, which supports comfort for sensitive skin. In practice, I choose this yarn where softness and the absence of the typical woolly itch are a priority, while still keeping the warming qualities of wool. The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I certificate confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances. If you have had strong reactions to wool in the past, it is worth observing your skin on first wear and gradually increasing the wearing time.
Shape and fit
The NANA model is a classic elongated beanie without a turn-up, handmade on knitting needles in a single rib stitch. This stitch works around the circumference, so the beanie adapts well to the shape of the head while keeping its elasticity and shape after removal. The elongated back allows the fabric to sit more freely — with a slight slouch at the back or a smoother fit, depending on how far you pull it down on the forehead. The lack of a turn-up means fewer layers over the ears, which may suit those who do not like a strongly wrapped feeling around the face.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – provides noticeable warmth in autumn and winter, without creating a very bulky layer on the head.
- Rib stitch throughout – adds stretch, so the beanie naturally adjusts to the shape of the head without excessive pressure.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – helps reduce snagging on hair and clothing, making everyday use and storage easier.
- Baby merino knit – combines warmth with breathability, so the head is less likely to overheat in changing conditions.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, light fuzz may appear and is worth removing from time to time with a fabric shaver.
- Hand-knitted construction – each piece is shaped individually, which supports consistency of form, but may also mean slight differences in stitch placement compared with mass-produced pieces.
- Light dusty rose colour – works as a calm, understated colour accent, especially with neutral outerwear.
Extras and care for long-term wear
You can choose a matching pom-pom in the same yarn for this beanie if you want a more defined finish while keeping the same cohesive knitted look. If you are putting together a set for colder days, take a look at matching shawls, wraps and snoods, where you will find merino wool accessories in a similar style. Merino wool benefits from gentle care — before the first wash or refresh, it is worth reading the short guide on how to care for wool accessories to help preserve the shape and softness of the knit for more than one season.
