| 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 it is worth choosing this beanie
This style is for those looking for an alpaca beanie for colder days and who prefer a close-fitting shape rather than a slouchy one. The medium petrol blue is a calm, muted shade that works well in everyday outfits without strong contrast. This alpaca wool beanie is a good choice for autumn and winter, but if you need a very lightweight model or one that feels completely smooth to the touch, it is better to choose a different type of knit. If your skin is very sensitive, a beanie made from a fibre with a smoother feel may be a better option.
The yarn and how it feels on the skin
This model is made from alpaca, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, which means it has been tested for undesirable substances and offers more predictable contact with the material in everyday wear. The surface is neither slippery nor densely compacted — it has a soft, delicate halo typical of wool beanies made from this type of yarn.
If your skin reacts even to slightly fuzzy knits, this model may feel a little itchy.
Construction and how it sits on the head
This is a fitted beanie with a turn-up cuff and a classic beanie shape. I made it in a single rib stitch because at this thickness it gives the elasticity needed to hold its shape without feeling heavy. The folded brim visually defines the line of the beanie and gives it a more settled look than styles without a turn-up.
What its features mean in everyday wear
- The medium-weight knit makes this beanie suitable for autumn and winter, so it is easier to wear through changing weather in those seasons.
- The single rib stitch provides elasticity, helping the beanie sit better on the head and keep its close-fitting character.
- The turn-up creates an extra layer at the edge, so the forehead and ears are more covered than in a beanie without a folded brim.
- The delicate halo on the surface softens the look of the knit, so the beanie does not appear technical or flat in everyday outfits.
- High resistance to pilling means easier everyday use, as the beanie keeps an even appearance for longer with regular wear.
- Hand washing helps maintain the shape and properties of the knit, so this model needs gentler care than beanies intended for machine washing.
Add-ons and matching pieces
If you would like to change the look of this model, you can choose a matching pom-pom in the same material and colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want to build a coordinated set for the colder season.
