| 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 makes sense
This merino wool beanie is for those looking for a calm, classic shape without a turn-up brim and without a fluffy texture. It works well for everyday wear from cool autumn through winter if you want a natural material and a soft feel against the skin. The navy colour pairs easily with a neutral wardrobe and does not overpower an outfit. If you are looking for a very thick beanie for hard frost, or a style with a clearly close-fitting, shorter crown, this shape may not give the effect you expect.
How it feels against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino because in practice it works well where softness and the absence of a rough feel matter. The knit is smooth, without a fuzzy halo, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, so it is also a good choice for sensitive skin.
This wool needs gentle handling: gentle washing and wool care are recommended, in keeping with the nature of this natural fibre.
Shape and fit
The HELLI style has a beanie shape with an elongated back, so it does not end close to the head but sits more loosely at the back. The lack of a folded brim keeps the line at the forehead straight and visually lighter. This style is usually chosen by people who prefer a lighter-looking front and a softer overall drape. It is worth keeping in mind that this cut does not create a firm, sporty fit.
Key features in use
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin, so the beanie also works well for people who are sensitive to the itchiness of wool.
- Medium weight – provides cover for autumn and winter without a heavy, very fluffy look.
- Double ribbing – adds elasticity to the knit, so the beanie adapts better when putting it on and wearing it.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – gives a cleaner, more defined look and does not create a fluffy halo.
- Beanie shape with an elongated back – sits more loosely at the back, giving it a more relaxed than technical character.
- No folded brim – reduces bulk at the forehead, which suits those who do not like an extra layer above the ears.
- Hand-knitted – keeps the stitch structure visible and preserves the character of a handmade beanie, rather than a factory-flat finish.
Extras and matching pieces
If you would like to change the character of this style, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season.
