| 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 this style works well
This beanie is a good choice if you are looking for a smooth, springy knit in natural wool, without a turn-up, in an extended beanie shape. The medium weight and rib knit help with comfort on cold autumn and winter days, without the feel of a very bulky hat. The powder pink shade works best if you want a soft, muted colour rather than a bold accent. If you prefer a very close fit around the head or an extra-thick beanie for severe frost, this style may feel too light.
Baby Merino wool and skin feel
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino yarn certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I, which means the fibre has been tested for harmful substances. The smooth surface of the knit, the lack of fuzz, and its stated suitability for sensitive skin all support everyday comfort against the forehead and ears. Merino wool does need gentle care – before washing, it is worth checking this short wool care guide to help reduce felting and pilling.
Fit and how it sits on the head
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a clearly extended back that falls softly once worn. The single rib knit stretches around the head, so the beanie adjusts to the shape of the head while keeping its slightly looser character. Without a folded brim, the layer over the ears is single thickness, which may be noticeable if you are used to snug styles with a doubled cuff. This shape works well with simple everyday outfits and does not need much adjusting – the beanie naturally forms a soft slouch at the back.
How this beanie performs in everyday wear
- Medium-weight merino wool knit – gives noticeable warmth for autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, overheating hat.
- Single rib throughout – improves the fit around the head and helps the beanie keep its shape after wearing.
- Extended beanie back – creates a looser, more relaxed look and adds an extra layer of knit at the back of the head.
- Suitable for contact with sensitive skin – helps reduce the risk of discomfort for people who notice the typical itch of thicker wool.
- Medium resistance to pilling – over time, the beanie may develop a light fuzz, especially with frequent wear and friction against a collar or hood.
- Hand washing required due to the fibre content – gentle care helps the knit keep its elasticity and appearance over time.
- Hand-knitted – each piece may vary slightly, which is part of its handmade character and can also help with how it settles to the head.
Extra details and matching accessories
The beanie has a smooth texture and a solid 54 Powder Pink colour, which makes it easy to pair with other accessories in a similar tone. If you like a finished look with an accent on top, you can choose a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn in your chosen colour – it will be sewn on so the beanie is ready to wear straight out of the parcel. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can add a shawl, snood or scarf from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section, which makes it easier to keep a similar level of warmth and texture around the neck and head.
