| 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 30 Blue works well if you are looking for a classic, plain beanie without a turn-up that sits well and does not overpower the rest of your outfit. The medium-weight knit and slightly extended back make it practical for chilly autumn days and a typical winter, without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat. The calm blue tone is also easy to pair with outerwear in different colours. If you are looking for extra coverage around the forehead from a folded brim or a very fluffy texture, this style may not meet your expectations.
Baby Merino wool and skin contact
The beanie is made entirely from certified Baby Merino wool with a smooth surface and no fuzzy halo, which helps reduce the risk of irritation for sensitive skin. Its moderate resistance to pilling means that with regular wear, small pills may appear over time, as is typical for natural yarns. This does not affect how the beanie performs, but it is worth keeping in mind. If you are especially sensitive to all kinds of wool, it is best to start with shorter wear and observe how your skin reacts.
The beanie shape and how it fits
This is a classic beanie without a turn-up, with a slightly extended back that creates a relaxed, understated slouch once on. The full rib stitch makes the knit naturally flexible, so it adjusts to the shape of the head and stays in place without strong pressure. Because there is no folded brim, the fabric covers the forehead in a single layer, which may suit people who do not like too much extra warmth in that area. This style is especially comfortable if you like a beanie that feels secure on the head without feeling tight.
How this beanie works in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter, without feeling overly hot on milder days during the season.
- Full rib stitch throughout – adds stretch and helps keep the fit stable even if you take the beanie on and off often.
- No turn-up and an extended back – make it easy to wear in a relaxed beanie style and help it sit well on both short and longer hair.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy knit surface – picks up less lint and is easier to freshen up between washes.
- Hand-knitted – means careful finishing and a consistent shape that does not lose form easily with use.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – benefits from gentle handling, such as soft outerwear and delicate washing, if you want to keep its smooth appearance for as long as possible.
- Merino wool certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – gives additional information that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter when choosing accessories worn close to the skin.
Finishing and optional extras
The beanie is finished with a NitkoweLove eco-leather label, which can be easily unclipped for washing. This makes care easier and helps keep the accessory looking neat. If you would like to change the look of this style, you can order a beanie with pom-pom made from the same yarn in the same shade. To create a coordinated set for colder months, you can add a shawl, scarf or snood from the same accessories category, choosing the fibre content and finish to suit your own warmth preferences. To help maintain the properties of merino wool and reduce the risk of felting, it is worth reading the short guide on wool care before the first wash, and using gentle products with flat drying.
