| 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. |

Best suited to these conditions and preferences
This beanie works well for cooler spring and autumn days, when you want protection from the cold without the thickness of a typical winter hat. It is a good choice if you like a looser, slightly oversized beanie without a turn-up and are comfortable wearing natural fibres with a soft halo. It may not be the right choice for very sensitive scalps that react badly to alpaca wool or mohair. It is also worth considering if you are looking for a handmade beanie in a muted pink shade, without extra embellishments.
Yarn, halo and feel against the skin
The beanie is made from two strands: a main strand of 100% alpaca and an additional mohair-and-silk thread, creating a lightweight, springy knit with a visible, soft halo. This fibre combination offers noticeable warmth while keeping the hat light, and gives it a softly cocooning feel to the touch. However, mohair and alpaca fibres may feel itchy on very sensitive skin, especially around the forehead and ears. If you are prone to irritation, it is better to choose an equally lightweight beanie made from a gentler yarn.
Shape, fit and how it sits
In this version, the MARGARET style is a beanie without a turn-up, with a light, controlled oversized effect at the crown. The full-length double rib adds elasticity to the knit, so the hat adapts to the shape of the head without creating a stiff “helmet” effect. The thin, lightweight structure sits well over different hairstyles without adding noticeable volume around the forehead. With no folded brim, the shape stays simpler and more classic – the full height of the beanie works as an elastic tube.
Everyday practical features
- Thin, lightweight knit – gives a sense of warmth and coverage without feeling heavy on the head.
- Full-length double rib – helps keep the beanie securely in place while allowing it to adjust to the shape of the head.
- Alpaca, mohair and silk blend – provides good insulation for the in-between seasons, without overheating indoors.
- Soft halo on the surface – gives the beanie a subtly fluffy, refined look that works well with both coats and more casual jackets.
- Hand-knitted – contributes to careful finishing and stitch flexibility in everyday wear.
- Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 – helps reduce the risk of contact with unwanted chemical substances sometimes present in dyed fibres.
- High resistance to pilling – with proper care, the beanie keeps its neat appearance for longer, even with frequent wear.
Details and care worth knowing
The beanie comes in a soft pink shade (Strawberry Ice Cream) that stays neutral and easy to pair with clothing in different colours. It is finished with a removable Nitkowe Love eco-leather tag, which you can easily take off for washing or whenever you prefer a completely clean finish. If you are looking for accessories to complete the set, take a look at the category matching shawls, wraps and snoods, where you will find accessories that work well with wool beanies and alpaca styles. To help preserve the fibres and reduce felting, hand washing is recommended; you can find detailed guidance in the wool care guide – it is worth reading before the first clean.
