| 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 this is a good choice
This style works well when you need a hat for the colder part of the year, but without a rough feel against the skin and without a fuzzy surface. The red colour makes a clear statement in an outfit, so it suits those who like a more defined accent. It is a good everyday choice for the autumn-winter season. If you are looking for a very lightweight beanie for in-between weather or a very thick hat for strong frost, this model may not suit those needs.
Yarn and how it feels to wear
I used 100% Baby Merino, a yarn made from natural merino wool, chosen with skin contact in mind for more sensitive skin. The smooth surface without a halo gives it a cleaner, more defined finish and does not add extra texture around the face.
It is still wool, so it needs gentle care — you can find a short guide here: wool care.
How it fits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie based on a turned-up beanie shape, so it sits close to the head rather than creating extra slouch or loose volume. The folded brim gives a neater line at the forehead and helps the lower edge stay stable in wear. From my experience, this shape works best for people who prefer a beanie that sits in a predictable way without needing frequent adjustment. If you want a strongly oversized look, this style is more neat than relaxed.
What its construction means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin and works well where regular wool may feel too scratchy.
- Medium weight – offers warmth suited to autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy, bulky hat.
- Double ribbing – adds elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head and keeps its form in wear.
- Turned-up construction – adds an extra layer along the lower edge, which improves comfort around the ears and forehead on colder days.
- Smooth knit with no halo – gives a calm, clean look and reduces the fluffy effect that not everyone wants in winter accessories.
- Handmade on knitting needles – allows for a more careful finish and gives the piece a character different from mass production.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
Matching additions
If you would like to change the look of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same material and colour. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you would like a coordinated set for colder days.
