If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When this beanie is a good choice
This style works well if you want soft contact with the skin and a calm, simple look without a fluffy texture. The light grey colour pairs easily with an everyday wardrobe, so it is a good option for regular wear through the autumn and winter season. It suits those looking for a close-fitting beanie that does not feel visually heavy. If you need a very thick beanie for severe frost or a loose, strongly slouchy shape, this version may not be the right one.
Yarn and feel when worn
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino. When choosing yarns for pieces worn close to the face, I focus first of all on how they feel in real contact with the skin, which is why this style is made with a yarn also suitable for sensitive skin, certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
As with any wool, it needs gentle handling and proper wool care to help maintain its shape and appearance.
A shape that works with the head
This is a turn-up beanie with a close-fitting shape, without unnecessary embellishment and with a clearly structured look. The turn-up defines the line at the forehead and ears, while the overall shape keeps a clean vertical form. Hand-knitted construction gives the fabric natural elasticity, so the beanie sits close to the head without feeling stiff. If you are looking for a looser, more slouchy fit, a different shape will be a better choice.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – offers soft contact with the head and helps reduce the risk of the typical discomfort sometimes associated with wool.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable for cool autumn and winter days without feeling overly bulky.
- Double rib – improves the fabric’s resilience, helping the beanie hold its shape better during wear.
- Turn-up – adds extra protection around the lower part of the beanie, which matters especially in windy weather.
- Smooth surface without halo – gives a more cleanly defined look and does not create a fluffy outline around the face.
- Hand-knitted – gives each piece a distinct handmade structure and makes every individual beanie slightly unique.
- Medium resistance to pilling – with regular wear, natural signs of fibre movement may appear over time.
Additional options
If you would like to add to this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
