| 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 MARGARET in Pistachio Ice Cream will be a good choice
This beanie works well if you are looking for a warm yet lightweight women’s beanie for early spring or autumn and you like relaxed, slightly slouchy styles without a turn-up. The green shade called Pistachio Ice Cream is a good option if you feel comfortable in cooler pastel tones. Thanks to the alpaca and mohair fibres, it is better suited to cooler days than to warmer, sunny afternoons. It may not be the right choice if you need very gentle contact with the skin and know that wool fibres feel noticeably itchy to you.
Yarn composition and feel against the skin
The beanie combines 100% alpaca wool as the main yarn with an additional mohair (75%) and silk (25%) yarn, creating a lightweight, enveloping knit with a soft halo on the surface. This blend feels pleasantly warm without much thickness, while still keeping the beanie light on the head. Alpaca and mohair fibres are noticeable against the skin, so if your skin is very sensitive, they may feel slightly itchy — in that case, it is worth considering a different type of yarn.
Fit and how it sits on the head
MARGARET is a classic, handmade beanie without a turn-up, designed for a slightly looser, oversized fit. The full-length double rib structure helps the knit adapt well to the head circumference while keeping its stretch and resilience. Its thin construction and lack of a folded brim mean the beanie does not create a bulky shape, but instead softly wraps the head and gently slouches at the back. This style is a good choice if you prefer visually lighter headwear rather than thick, close-fitting winter hats.
Everyday wear — what is worth knowing
- Thin, lightweight alpaca and mohair knit – provides noticeable warmth on cooler autumn and spring days without the feel of a heavy, overheating hat.
- Double rib throughout the beanie – improves the fit on the head, so the beanie is less likely to shift during everyday wear.
- Visible soft halo on the surface – gives the beanie a softer look, but may be noticeable on very sensitive skin.
- High resistance to pilling – with proper care, the knit keeps a neat appearance for longer without obvious bobbling.
- No turn-up and a light oversized fit – reduces pressure on the forehead, which may be helpful for longer wear or if you are sensitive to pressure.
- Hand-knitted – allows for even tension in the knit and careful finishing of details, which affects comfort around seams and edges.
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified yarn – confirms that the fibres used were tested for selected chemical substances at the production stage.
Details and matching accessories
The beanie is finished with a removable eco-leather logo tag by Nitkowe Love, which can be easily taken off before washing to limit wear from contact with water. If you would like a coordinated set for cooler days, you can pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods, especially if you are looking for accessories with a similar visual character. To help preserve the shape and structure of the knit for seasons to come, it is worth reading the care instructions for wool accessories — you will find specific guidance there on hand washing and drying flat.
