| 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 makes sense
This style works well if you’re looking for a beanie with a strong colour, but without a fluffy surface or a heavy winter look. It suits everyday wear from cool autumn through winter, when you want season-appropriate coverage along with a soft feel against the skin. Its smooth shape pairs easily with simple coats, jackets and scarves. If you need a very thick beanie for severe frost and long periods outdoors, it’s better to choose a style with a heavier knit.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I use 100% Baby Merino here, a very gentle type of merino wool. The smooth, non-fluffy surface and a yarn chosen with sensitive skin in mind mean this style is often a good option for people who find standard wool too coarse.
As with any wool, how it feels on the skin is still a personal matter.
Shape and fit
This is a close-fitting beanie that moves naturally with the head and doesn’t feel stiff. The folded brim defines the line around the forehead and ears, while the beanie shape itself stays simple and versatile. In my experience, this cut works well when you want the beanie to stay in place without needing constant adjustment. If you prefer a clearly loose, oversized shape above the head, this style may feel too close-fitting.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers a soft, natural feel against the skin with no synthetic fibres added.
- Medium weight – makes it suitable for autumn and winter without feeling overly bulky.
- Double ribbing – adds elasticity, helping the beanie adapt better to the shape of the head.
- Folded brim – provides an extra layer around the forehead and ears, which can improve comfort on colder days.
- Smooth knit surface without a halo – makes it easier to wear with everyday outerwear and avoids a fluffy look.
- Hand-knitted – preserves the handmade character and the carefully finished structure of the style.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, natural signs of friction may appear, as is typical for wool.
Extras and practical information
If you’d like to turn it into a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour, you can add the matching pom-pom to your order. You can also complete the set with matching shawls, wraps and snoods.
The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, and the beanie is finished with a detachable eco-leather label. This style requires hand washing; before caring for it, it’s worth taking a look at this short guide: how to care for wool.
