HELLI Turn-Up Beanie Baby Merino Wool 05 Light Pink
| 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. |
The HELLI turn-up beanie is a handmade merino wool beanie in a medium weight, designed for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and a folded brim. Availability depends on the selected size — click your size to check whether this style is ready to ship or made to order.
When this style is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for colder days, but without a heavy, bulky feel. The light pink colour and smooth finish create a calm, clean look, so it pairs well with everyday jackets as well as simpler coats. It is also a good option for people who pay attention to how knitwear feels against the skin. If you need very thick protection for severe frost or a style with a loose, strongly oversized shape, a different type of beanie may suit you better.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen for softness and everyday comfort. The smooth surface without halo and a yarn suitable for sensitive skin mean that this style is usually perceived as comfortable in direct contact with the skin. The yarn is also certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
It is still wool, so to help it keep its shape and properties it needs gentle care; you can find a short guide here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
HELLI has a close-fitting beanie shape with a folded brim, so it sits close to the head rather than falling into a relaxed slouch. This cut gives the beanie a neat, structured line and helps it look tidy even after taking off a hood. The folded brim visually stabilises the lower edge and makes the style feel more covered around the bottom. If you are looking for a more obvious drop at the back, this shape may feel too structured.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – creates a natural, soft layer for the autumn–winter season without the feel of a stiff, technical knit.
- Medium weight – makes it easy to wear day to day, especially when you want warmth suited to urban conditions.
- Double rib – improves the knit’s elasticity, so the beanie moves better with wear and holds its shape more reliably.
- Turn-up construction – adds an extra layer along the lower edge, giving more coverage at the bottom of the beanie.
- Smooth knit surface without halo – gives a cleaner visual effect and reduces the impression of fluffiness around the face.
- Handmade with knitting needles – means the piece is made with control over stitch and tension, which matters for the final fit.
- Moderate pilling resistance – with regular wear, it is worth expecting natural signs of the wool working, especially in areas exposed to friction.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like to turn this into a beanie with pom-pom, you can add a pom-pom made from the same yarn in a colour matched to the beanie. You can also choose matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set from the same accessory category. The beanie is finished with an eco-leather label that can be unclipped for washing.
