| 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 is a good choice
This style is for those looking for a beanie for the colder months and who prefer a calm, clean look without a fluffy surface. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, including when gentle contact with the skin matters. The purple shade stands out more through colour than texture, so it pairs well with simple outfits. If you are looking for a very thick beanie for severe frost or a loose, strongly slouchy fit, this version may not be the right choice.
Yarn and feel when worn
I used 100% Baby Merino here, a merino yarn chosen with softness and skin contact in mind. From my experience, smooth knitwear without a fuzzy surface is often better tolerated by people who are sensitive to itchiness, and the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
It is still wool, so it needs gentle handling and proper wool care, including hand washing.
How it fits on the head
This is a close-fitting beanie with a folded brim, so it sits close to the head and does not create too much volume. The folded edge gives the shape a more structured look and helps provide fuller coverage across the forehead and ears. The single rib works together with the movement of the knit, so the beanie keeps its shape better with regular wear. If you prefer very loose hats or a completely smooth edge, it is worth noting that this style has a more structured, close-to-the-head character.
Key features in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – a wool beanie with no added fibres, if you are specifically looking for a pure merino composition.
- Medium weight – makes it practical for the autumn–winter season without the feel of a heavy, very bulky knit.
- Smooth surface without a fuzzy finish – the beanie has a calm look and does not have a fluffy outer texture.
- Skin contact suitable for sensitive skin – helps reduce the risk of discomfort for people who react badly to rougher wool.
- Folded brim – reinforces the edge of the beanie and gives fuller coverage in the lower part.
- Single rib – helps with flexible fit and supports shape retention during wear.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – gives an even, consistent knit structure while keeping a handmade way of making.
Matching pieces
If you would like to change the character of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn. It also pairs well with shawls, scarves and snoods if you want a coordinated merino set. The yarn has moderate resistance to pilling, so with regular use it is worth expecting natural signs of wear typical of softer wool.
