| 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 beanie is a good choice
The NANA style works well if you are looking for an everyday beanie for the colder months that stays securely on the head and provides noticeable warmth without feeling bulky or heavy. The medium-weight knit and turn-up cuff make it a practical option for autumn, winter and early spring, including longer periods outdoors. Colour 48 Blush is a muted, brownish pink tone suited to those who prefer a calm, understated shade. If you are looking for a very thin beanie to wear under a helmet, or for a distinctly lofty layer for extreme frost, this style may feel too classic for that purpose.
Against the skin and the material
The beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino, using yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I, which confirms that it is safe even for contact with sensitive skin. The smooth, non-fuzzy knit surface and the soft yarn make it a suitable option for people who usually react quickly to the roughness or itchiness of classic wool accessories. If your scalp is extremely sensitive, it is still worth doing a brief try-on to check your individual reaction.
Shape, turn-up cuff and fit
NANA is a classic turn-up beanie in a beanie shape, knitted in a single rib that naturally adapts to the shape of the head. The elastic stitch structure gives a wrapped, secure feel without strong pressure and helps the beanie stay in place better while you move. The turn-up cuff reinforces the ear and forehead area, which in practice means a more stable fit and an extra layer of knit where it is most useful. The whole piece is flexible enough that, once worn, you can slightly adjust the height of the cuff to suit how much forehead coverage you prefer.
For everyday wear – useful to know
- Medium-weight knit in 100% Baby Merino – provides clear warmth for the autumn/winter season without feeling heavy or bulky on the head.
- Rib stitch throughout – works like a natural spring, making it easier to fit different head sizes and helping to reduce slipping.
- Turn-up edge – creates a double layer of knit over the ears, which improves comfort in wind and lower temperatures.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – reduces the risk of catching on jewellery or jacket fastenings, which makes everyday wear easier.
- Suitable for sensitive skin – may be a good option for those who usually notice itchiness with standard wool accessories, while keeping in mind individual skin response.
- Moderate resistance to pilling – with frequent wear, small pills may appear, so gentle everyday handling is worth keeping in mind.
- Hand-knitted – each piece may differ slightly in stitch placement, which is natural for artisanal knitwear.
Extras, care and matching pieces
The beanie is finished with a Nitkowe Love leather tag, which can be unclipped for washing, making care easier and helping the detail keep its neat appearance for longer. If you like a top accent, you can choose a matching pom-pom for your beanie, made from the same yarn as the knit. To create a coordinated set for colder days, you can add matching shawls, wraps or snoods, especially if you would like similar colour protection for the neck and neckline area. To help preserve the yarn’s qualities and the shape of the piece, hand washing in lukewarm water is recommended – you can find more practical advice in the wool care guide.
