| 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. |

For colder days, if you want a simple beanie without a turn-up
This style works well when you need a merino wool beanie for everyday wear: simple, smooth, and easy to pair with different coats and jackets. The black colour gives a neutral look, and the beanie shape with a longer back does not create a stiff, sporty line. It is a good option for autumn and winter if you want warmth suited to the season without a very heavy knit. If you are looking for a beanie with a folded brim or a very close, short fit around the head, this style may not be the best match.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I chose 100% Baby Merino because with beanies worn directly on the forehead and ears, not only the fibre content matters, but also how the knit feels against the skin. This merino wool beanie has a smooth, non-fluffy surface and, according to its parameters, is suitable for sensitive skin; the yarn also holds the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate.
Like any wool, it needs gentle handling and proper wool care, including hand washing.
How it fits on the head
HELLI is a beanie without a turn-up, so the line at the forehead stays clean and less bulky than in folded-brim styles. The extended back gives it a more relaxed shape instead of a close, fitted look. The ribbed construction stretches as you wear it, which usually helps it adapt to the head without feeling stiff. If you prefer a neater, shorter shape above the nape, it is worth keeping in mind that this style is intentionally looser at the back.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – the knit is focused on comfort when worn directly against the skin.
- Medium weight – suitable for colder autumn and winter days without feeling overly heavy.
- Double rib knit – gives the beanie better widthwise stretch and helps it hold its shape more steadily when putting it on.
- No turn-up – there is no extra layer at the forehead, so the shape looks simpler and lighter.
- Extended back – the beanie sits more loosely and gives the characteristic soft extra room at the back.
- Smooth surface without halo – the style has a clean, calm look and does not create a fluffy effect.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made in a slower process, with attention to stitch control and finishing.
Additional options
If you would like to change the look of the style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, scarves and snoods. The beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label, which can be removed for washing.
