| 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. |

For everyday wear in the colder months
This merino beanie is for those looking for a simple, close-fitting style without extra detailing, finished with a clearly defined folded brim. It works well in autumn and winter, when you want suitable coverage for colder days without the feel of a heavy, very chunky knit. The burgundy shade combines red and brown tones, so it fits easily into quieter, more understated outfits. If you are looking for a very fluffy beanie or one with a visible halo, this style has a completely different, smooth character.
How it feels against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino — a yarn chosen with direct contact with sensitive skin in mind. The smooth knit, without any fuzz, helps reduce the feeling of dryness or itchiness, so this style can also be a good option for those who are cautious about wool.
Please note: like any wool, it needs gentle care; a short guide is available here: wool care.
How it sits on the head
VARELLA has a beanie shape that fits close to the head, but without a stiff, technical look. The folded brim defines the line at the forehead and gives the shape a more settled appearance. From my experience, this stitch works well with movement and keeps a clear shape during wear. If you prefer very loose, heavily slouchy beanies, this cut may look more structured than you expect.
What matters in everyday use
- 100% Baby Merino – gives a natural, soft feel against the skin without the need for an extra lining.
- Medium weight – makes the beanie suitable for autumn and winter without feeling overly heavy.
- Single rib – supports the knit’s elasticity, so the beanie adapts better during wear.
- Folded brim – adds extra coverage around the forehead and ears, where the cold is often felt first.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – easy to pair day to day with a coat, jacket or scarf without a fluffy effect.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – helps maintain an even, consistent knit structure and a neat finish.
- Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification – confirms that the yarn has been tested for harmful substances.
What you can pair with this style
If you would like to change the character of this beanie, 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 from the same accessory category.
