If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

What kind of days and needs it suits
This model is for those looking for a merino wool beanie for regular wear in the colder part of the year and who want a calm, easy-to-match colour. The olive shade looks natural and understated, so it works well with an everyday wardrobe without taking over the whole look. It works well when you want coverage for autumn and winter without the feel of a heavy, very thick beanie. If you are looking for a style for severe frost or a very loose fit, this shape may not be the right choice.
Yarn and how it feels against the skin
I use 100% Baby Merino here — a yarn chosen with direct skin contact in mind. The knit is suitable for sensitive skin, and the lack of surface fuzz helps reduce the feeling of accidental irritation when putting it on and wearing it.
It is still wool, so it needs careful care; you can find a short guide here: wool care.
How it sits on the head
The beanie shape is close-fitting, but thanks to its construction it does not look stiff. The turn-up brim gives a neat line at the forehead and ears, and the whole piece keeps a simple, clean look without decorative textures. I make this model by hand on a knitting machine, so it is important to me that the knit sits evenly and predictably in everyday wear.
What the construction means in practice
- Medium weight – gives warmth suitable for autumn and winter without the feel of a very heavy layer on the head.
- Single rib – helps the beanie adjust better when putting it on and maintain its fit during wear.
- Turn-up brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, where the cold is often felt most.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – makes everyday wear easier for those who do not like a fluffy finish around the face.
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a soft feel against the skin, so this model also works well for greater sensitivity to wool.
- Pilling resistance: medium – with regular wear, natural signs of use may appear on the surface over time.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
Additions to complete the set
If you want to change the character of the model, you can choose a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour for this version. Matching shawls, scarves and snoods also go well with it if you want a coordinated set for colder days.
