| 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 beanie is a good choice
The NANA style in shade 24 Light Blue is a good option if you are looking for a smooth, slightly elongated beanie without a turn-up, one that sits well on the head and does not add extra volume around the face. The medium-weight knit and single rib structure work well for everyday wear from autumn into winter, as long as you are not looking for a very thick, fluffy hat for severe frost. This is a good choice for those who prefer a natural merino wool beanie in a simple shape rather than styles with linings and extra layers. If you prefer very stiff or heavily structured headwear, the flexible nature of this model may not be the best fit for you.
Baby merino and skin contact
The beanie is made entirely from 100% Baby Merino, an Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I certified yarn, with a smooth surface and no halo. This type of wool, combined with the springy rib stitch, creates a soft, even feel around the head and may also suit people who are sensitive to typical “itchy” wool products. If you are extremely sensitive to any wool against the skin, I recommend trying it on at home first to check how it feels for you personally.
Shape and fit
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a slightly elongated back that falls naturally into a gentle slouch at the back of the head. The single rib works all the way around, so the beanie adjusts to the shape of the head and stays in place well without strong pressure. The medium-weight knit means it fits under most hoods and jackets without creating a stiff dome at the top of the head. Each piece is knitted by hand, which helps maintain a consistent shape while keeping the natural drape typical of merino knitwear.
How this beanie performs in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth through autumn and winter without causing too much overheating in above-freezing temperatures.
- Rib stitch throughout – provides plenty of stretch, so the beanie adjusts to the head circumference and stays securely in place.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – helps reduce the risk of discomfort on sensitive skin and makes it easier to wear a hood or headphones over the beanie.
- Elongated beanie back – lets you wear it with a relaxed slouch or pulled down further over the ears, depending on how much warmth you want.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with regular wear, small pills may appear, so gentle use and proper care are especially important for this yarn.
- Hand-knitted construction – creates an even, springy knit that can easily be reshaped after washing if needed.
- Cool-toned light blue colour – pairs well with neutral and darker jackets, so the beanie can work as a calm everyday accent.
Finishing details and matching accessories
The beanie is finished with a vegan leather label, which can be unclipped for washing. This makes care easier and helps the knit keep its neat appearance for longer. If you like a top detail, you can order a colour-matched pom-pom for your beanie made from the same baby merino yarn. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can add a scarf, shawl or snood from the same accessories category: matching shawls, wraps and snoods. To help maintain the shape and softness of the yarn, I recommend gentle hand washing following the short care guide here: wool care.
