| 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 turn-up merino beanie in a medium weight, made from 100% Baby Merino and suitable for autumn and winter. This version stands out for its bright blue colour and smooth knit surface without a fuzzy halo.

When this style makes sense
This style works well if you are looking for a merino wool beanie for colder days, but without a bulky, heavy shape. It suits everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially if a calm feel against the skin and a classic beanie shape matter to you. The bright blue adds a clear colour accent, so it is a good choice when you want the beanie to be a visible part of your outfit. If you need a very thick beanie or a fully neutral colour, this version may not be the best fit.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino, a finer type of merino wool. With this yarn and the smooth knit surface, the feel against the skin is more even, without fibres standing out from the surface, which often matters to people who are sensitive to texture. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
It is still wool, so it needs careful care; you can find a short guide here: wool care.
How it sits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie with a turn-up brim that gives a neater line around the forehead and ears. Thanks to its flexible construction, it stays in place without feeling stiff. The turn-up also affects the visual proportion of the beanie, so the shape looks best when worn with the brim folded up. If you are looking for a loose, slouchy fit, this model will sit too close to the head.
What this means in wear
- 100% Baby Merino – a wool beanie for the colder season with no synthetic fibre blend.
- Medium weight – gives coverage for autumn and winter, but without a very heavy, fluffy effect.
- Double ribbing – adds elasticity, so the beanie adjusts more easily to the shape of the head.
- Turn-up brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, which matters in lower temperatures.
- Smooth surface without a fuzzy halo – reduces the “itchy” impression that can come from knit texture itself.
- Hand-knitted – gives it the character of handmade work, with a visible stitch structure rather than factory uniformity.
- Moderate pilling resistance – with regular wear, light pilling may appear, which is typical for natural wool.
Options to go with this model
If you would like to change the character of the beanie, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. For a matching set, take a look at shawls, scarves and snoods if you want a coordinated merino set. The model is finished with an eco-leather label that can be unclipped for washing.
