| 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 style works well
This beanie is a good choice if you are looking for a warm winter beanie or a hat for colder autumn days that covers the ears and head well without feeling overly thick. The turn-up beanie shape works well for everyday wear, including with a coat or jacket in calm, muted colours. The denim blue shade pairs easily with both darker and lighter outerwear. If your skin is very sensitive to natural wool, this style may feel too noticeable without an extra layer underneath.
How the material feels against the skin
The beanie is made from a yarn blend of 65% alpaca, 28% polyamide and 7% wool, with a softly fluffy surface typical of alpaca beanies. It feels soft and lightweight, and the fine fibres create a lightly insulating layer of air between the knit and the skin. For most skin types, it feels comfortable to wear, but on a very sensitive scalp it may feel slightly prickly, especially along the forehead.
Shape, turn-up and how it sits on the head
The CHMURKA style is a classic beanie with a clearly defined wide turn-up, hand-knitted with a single rib stitch. This shape adapts to the head circumference while leaving a little ease at the top, creating a subtle oversized effect. The turn-up can be worn higher or lower, so you can adjust ear coverage and the overall height of the beanie depending on the weather and your preference. The consistent rib texture from the edge to the crown helps the beanie sit evenly without forming stiff creases.
Everyday wear – what to know
- High alpaca and wool content – gives noticeable warmth on cold autumn and winter days while keeping the beanie relatively lightweight.
- Medium-weight knit – makes it suitable for both colder and milder days without feeling heavy on the head.
- Rib stitch throughout – helps the beanie stay in place well and shift less during movement.
- Wide turn-up – doubles the knit layer over the ears, increasing protection from the wind in this particularly exposed area.
- Yarn with good resistance to pilling – helps limit bobbling in typical daily wear and keeps the beanie looking neat for longer.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification – confirms that the yarn used has been tested for the presence of certain harmful substances.
- Hand wash only – it needs gentle care, but this helps the knit keep its elasticity and original shape over time.
Details and care
The beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label that can be easily unclipped for washing, making care easier and reducing the risk of the label losing its shape. If you are putting together a matching set, you can pair this beanie with a shawl, scarf or snood in a similar tone – see the current matching shawls, wraps and snoods. To help your handmade alpaca beanie last well over time, it is worth following gentle wool care guidelines described in the wool care guide.
