What this style is designed for

This beanie works well if you are looking for a merino wool beanie in a noticeable yet understated colour that keeps you warm on colder days without adding too much bulk. The medium-weight knit and turn-up brim make it especially suited to autumn and winter, particularly for everyday city wear. The burgundy shade is a good choice if you do not like very bold colours but want something livelier than neutral greys. If you are looking for a very thin, airy transitional beanie or a very fluffy, fuzzy knit, this style may not meet your expectations.

Material and feel against the skin

The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino, a smooth merino yarn also suitable for sensitive skin. The knit has no halo, so it should not irritate the forehead or ears in direct contact, while still remaining flexible and springy in wear. Resistance to pilling is described as medium, which means that with intensive use and frequent rubbing, the small bobbles typical of wool may appear.

Gentle wool care, in line with the recommendation for hand washing, helps preserve the knit’s appearance and durability for longer.

Fit and shape

The NANA style is a turn-up beanie, hand-knitted in a single rib, which helps it sit neatly closer to the head. The folded brim creates an extra layer over the ears and forehead, which improves warmth and helps prevent the beanie from shifting during wear. The ribbed construction allows the knit to adapt to the head circumference while still keeping its natural springiness – important if you do not like very tight-fitting styles. The smooth surface and lack of decorative distressing also make it easier to wear under a hood or a winter helmet.

How this beanie performs in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – provides warmth in typical autumn and winter conditions without creating a very bulky layer on the head.
• Turn-up brim – gives a double layer over the ears, which means better protection from cold and wind in the most exposed areas.
• Single rib throughout – allows for a flexible fit and helps keep the beanie in place while moving.
• Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – reduces the risk of catching on zips or Velcro and makes it easier to slip the beanie under a hood or winter helmet.
• 100% Baby Merino wool – combines softness with the practical qualities of wool, which may help reduce discomfort for people who are usually sensitive to itchiness.
• Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which may matter when choosing a beanie for someone with increased sensitivity.
• Hand-knitted construction – helps maintain an even stitch and natural elasticity, but it does require gentle hand washing to keep the shape and structure of the knit stable.

Finishing details and matching accessories

The beanie is finished with a NitkoweLove eco-leather label, which can be removed for washing, making care easier without risking damage to the trim. If you prefer a more decorative look, you can add a matching pom-pom for your beanie, made from the same yarn to keep the colour and texture consistent. To put together a full set for the colder season, you may also want to choose a shawl, scarf or snood from the matching wool accessories section, especially if you want a harmonious match with the beanie’s burgundy tone.
