| 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. |
HELLI is a handmade merino wool beanie in a light blue shade, medium weight for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and an elongated back. To check availability for a specific option, click the size — you will then see whether the beanie is ready to ship or made to order.
What conditions and needs it suits
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for colder days, but without a heavy, bulky feel on the head. The light blue shade gives a calm, cool-toned colour that pairs easily with everyday autumn and winter outfits. It is a good choice for those who pay attention to comfort around the face and do not want knitwear that feels clearly rough. If you need a very thick beanie for hard frost or a style with a folded cuff around the ears, this shape may not be your first choice.
How it feels against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino — a merino yarn chosen for softness and everyday contact with the skin. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy surface, and the yarn itself is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
It is still wool, so it needs gentle handling and proper wool care, especially hand washing.
How it sits on the head
HELLI is a beanie style without a turn-up, so the line around the face stays simple and visually light. The elongated back means the beanie does not end high at the back of the head, but falls more naturally. This cut gives a softer line than styles that fit closely along the full length. If you are looking for a very compact beanie that sits short and close to the head, a style with a shorter back may be a better fit.
Main practical features
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin, so this model is also suitable for people who are more sensitive to the itchiness of wool.
- Medium weight – offers warmth suitable for autumn and winter without the effect of a very heavy, chunky beanie.
- Double ribbing – adds elasticity to the knit, helping the beanie fit the head better.
- No turn-up – reduces bulk at the forehead and gives a simpler, less layered look.
- Elongated back – creates a looser shape at the back instead of a tightly stretched fit.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – the beanie has a clean, neat look and does not create a fluffy effect.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made individually, with attention to stitch tension and finishing.
Additional options
If you would like to change the look of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
The style is finished with a removable eco-leather label, which makes it easier to prepare the beanie for hand washing. It is also worth keeping in mind that, with moderate resistance to pilling, the knit keeps its appearance best with gentle wear and proper care.
