| 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 100% Baby Merino beanie in a medium weight for autumn and winter, with a smooth surface and an extended back. Availability depends on the selected size – click the variant to check whether it is ready to ship or made to order.
Best suited to
This style is for those looking for a merino wool beanie for colder days, but without a heavy, bulky feel. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially if you want a calm, neutral colour and a gentle feel against the skin. The light beige shade pairs easily with other coat and accessory colours. If you need a hat for very severe frost or a style with the extra coverage that comes from a turned-up cuff, this shape may feel too light at the edge.
Yarn and feel when worn
I make this model from 100% Baby Merino — a fine merino wool with a smooth surface and no halo. With this yarn and this finish, the feel against the skin is usually calm, which is why the beanie is described as suitable for sensitive skin. The yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, confirming that it has been tested for harmful substances.
It is still wool, so if you have individual sensory sensitivity, the feel may vary.
Shape and fit
HELLI is a beanie without a folded cuff, so it sits more lightly and softly than styles with a thick turned-up brim. The extended back gives it a more relaxed line, without a close fit at the crown. This cut works well if you want a slightly looser look, but not exaggerated volume. If you prefer a very close, short fit around the head, a more compact style may be a better choice.
What this means in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – provides natural warmth suitable for the autumn–winter season without the feel of a heavy technical hat.
- Medium-weight knit – practical for daily wear, as the beanie fits under most hoods and does not add much bulk.
- Double ribbing – improves elasticity, so the shape adjusts better on the head and sits more securely.
- No folded cuff – the edge at the forehead stays less bulky, giving a lighter look and a simpler finish.
- Smooth surface with no halo – reduces the visual impression of roughness and gives the style a clean, calm look.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, signs of natural use may appear over time, especially in areas of friction.
- Hand-knitted – each piece is made individually, with the characterful structure and finish typical of handmade work.
Extras and important information
If you would like to add a matching pom-pom for your beanie, you can choose one made from the same yarn in a colour matched to the hat. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods.
Wool needs careful handling, so this model should be hand washed; a short guide is available here: wool care. The beanie is finished with a detachable eco-leather label, which can be removed before washing.
