| 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 it is worth choosing this style
This merino wool beanie is for those looking for a style without a turn-up, with a calm, classic look and a gentle feel against the skin. It works well for cool autumn days and typical winter weather, when you want protection without the weight of a thick, heavy hat. The beige colour pairs easily with everyday outfits and does not dominate your look. If you are looking for a very close-fitting, short beanie or a style with an extra folded edge over the ears, this shape may not give the effect you want.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
This style is made from 100% Baby Merino. I choose this type of yarn when a gentle feel against the skin matters and the beanie is meant to stay smooth and free from any halo. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, and the finished product is also suitable for sensitive skin.
It is still wool, so it needs gentle handling and proper wool care, including hand washing.
A shape that sits naturally without a turn-up
HELLI has a beanie shape with a slightly elongated back, so it does not end sharply at the crown and sits more naturally at the back of the head. The absence of a turn-up keeps the line of the beanie clean and visually lighter. This model is handmade on knitting needles, so it behaves differently from factory-made hats — the fit also comes from the natural stretch of the knitted fabric. If you prefer a more natural shape rather than a rigid form, this cut may suit those expectations better.
What its construction means in everyday wear
- Medium weight – suitable from autumn into winter without feeling excessively heavy.
- Double ribbed brim – provides elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head.
- Smooth knit surface without halo – reduces the fluffy effect and gives a more tidy, structured look.
- No turn-up – reduces bulk at the lower edge and creates a simpler, more minimal line.
- Elongated back – means the shape does not sit short and tight on the head, but falls more naturally at the back.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with wear, natural signs of use may appear, as is typical for delicate wool knits.
Extras and matching options
If you would like to change the character of the style, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, scarves and snoods. The model is finished with a detachable eco-leather label, which makes it easier to prepare the beanie for washing.
