| 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 it works best
This style is a good choice if you are looking for a beanie for cooler days that works well for everyday wear without the feel of a heavy winter knit. The bright green colour makes a strong statement in an outfit, so it suits looks where you want a clear accent. It is also worth considering if regular wool tends to feel too irritating for you. If you need a very understated accessory or a beanie for severe frost and wind, keep in mind that this style has a medium-weight knit.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I make this style from 100% Baby Merino, a merino yarn chosen for a softer feel against the skin. The smooth surface without a fuzzy halo and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate help make wear more predictable, including for those with greater sensitivity to touch.
Like any wool that needs gentle handling, this beanie requires hand washing; a short guide is available here: wool care.
Shape, fit and how it sits
This is a merino beanie with a close-fitting shape and a turn-up cuff that creates a more settled line around the forehead and ears. The ribbed knit gives the fabric natural stretch when putting it on, so it sits well on the head without feeling stiff. From my experience, this cut is practical for everyday wear, but it does not create a loose, slouchy shape.
What follows from the construction of this style
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a softer feel against the skin, so this style is also a good option if you are more sensitive to wool itch.
- Medium weight – suitable for autumn and winter without the effect of a bulky, very heavy beanie.
- Double rib knit – improves the knit’s elasticity, helping the beanie hold its shape better in everyday wear.
- Turn-up cuff – adds extra coverage at the lower edge and helps the beanie sit more securely around the forehead and ears.
- Smooth surface without a fuzzy halo – reduces the fluffy look, giving the beanie a cleaner, more defined appearance.
- Hand-knitted – gives the knit and finishing a character different from mass production.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with normal wear, the surface may need gentle refreshing over time.
Optional additions and matching pieces
If you want to change the character of the style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add other winter accessories from the matching shawls, wraps and snoods category.
