| 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 medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and the elongated back typical of a beanie style. Availability depends on the size you choose — click your selected variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style is worth choosing
This style suits those looking for a winter beanie without a turn-up, but with enough coverage for colder transitional days and winter weather. It works well when soft contact with the skin and a calm, smooth look without a fuzzy finish matter most. The elongated back creates a more relaxed line than a close-fitting hat. If you need very thick protection for hard frost or a short, sporty shape, this style may not be the best choice.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I use 100% Baby Merino here — a fine merino wool yarn chosen with more sensitive skin contact in mind. The knit is smooth, without a halo, and the yarn itself is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which confirms it has been tested for harmful substances.
Like any wool, it needs careful care — it is best to follow the notes on wool care and wash it by hand.
How it sits on the head
The beanie shape without a turn-up gives a lighter-looking lower edge and a softer line around the face than folded styles. In this cut, the back is elongated, so the beanie does not end evenly at the nape but falls more loosely. The stitch works with the movement of the knit, so this style looks best when it keeps its slightly extended character. It is a good option if you want a close fit without a firm pressure at the edge.
What follows from the construction of this style
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft, natural feel against the skin and works well where reducing itchiness matters.
- Medium weight – makes it suitable for autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, very chunky knit.
- Double ribbed brim – improves elasticity and helps the beanie keep its shape during everyday wear.
- No turn-up – reduces bulk at the forehead and gives a simpler, cleaner-looking lower edge.
- Elongated back – creates the more relaxed drape typical of a beanie instead of a close-fitting shape.
- Smooth surface without a fuzzy finish – makes it easier to pair with different outerwear and avoids a fluffy look.
- Hand-knitted – gives the knit a clear artisanal character and careful finishing in each individual piece.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like a beanie with pom-pom, you can order this style with a pom-pom made from the same yarn, so the whole piece keeps a consistent colour and texture. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods in a similar style. This model has a removable eco-leather label, which makes it easier to prepare the beanie for hand washing. It is also worth keeping in mind that its resistance to pilling is medium, so with regular wear, natural signs of use may appear over time.
