| 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 of medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a slightly extended back. You can check availability after clicking on the size – this will show whether a given option is ready to ship or made to order.
For what kind of days and needs
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for colder months without a heavy, bulky feel on the head. The white shade and smooth shape pair well with simple everyday outfits and lighter winter looks. It is also a good choice if a gentler feel against the skin matters to you. If you prefer shorter shapes without extra room at the back, or beanies with a folded cuff, this cut may not give the effect you are looking for.
How it feels against the skin
This model is made from 100% Baby Merino. I also choose this yarn with everyday wear sensitivity in mind: the knit is smooth, without a fuzzy halo, and according to its parameters it is suitable for contact with sensitive skin. The yarn also holds the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate, which means it has been tested for harmful substances.
Like any wool, it requires more careful care – please follow wool care guidelines appropriate for hand-washed items.
How it sits on the head
This is a beanie without a folded cuff, with a slightly extended back, so it has a looser fit than a classic hat that sits close all around the head. The double rib stitch gives the knit elasticity and helps it keep its shape during wear. In my experience, this type of stitch works well with the natural movement of the knit and does not need an extra cuff, but how the shape feels will depend on whether you want a more fitted or a looser effect.
Key features in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives the fabric a naturally soft hand and works well where a gentler feel against the skin matters.
- Medium weight – offers coverage for autumn and winter without a very heavy, thick shape.
- Double rib stitch – adds elasticity to the knit, so the beanie adapts better when putting it on and wearing it.
- No folded cuff – keeps the style visually lighter and makes it easier to wear under a hood.
- Slightly extended back – creates the characteristic looser beanie shape instead of a short, close-fitting form.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – reduces the fluffy effect, so the beanie looks cleaner and more minimal.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made individually, with attention to stitch and finishing throughout the process.
Possible additions for a matching set
If you would like to change the character of this model, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
