When NELLI is a good choice
This style works well if you are looking for a beanie for the colder part of the season that keeps you warm while still feeling relatively light. The multicoloured knit in shades of purple pairs well with simple everyday outfits when you want to add colour without creating a strong contrast. It is a good option for those who like close-fitting beanies with a turn-up brim and accept that natural wool may pill slightly over time. If you have a very sensitive scalp or do not tolerate even slight itchiness, it may be better to choose a different fibre or wear an extra headband underneath.
Against the skin and the material
The beanie is made from yarn with a high merino wool content and added polyamide, with a smooth surface and no fuzzy halo. In practice, this means a pleasant, soft feel for wool, while keeping the stretch and resilience expected from an everyday beanie. It may still feel slightly itchy on exceptionally sensitive skin, so in that case it is better not to wear it directly against the forehead.
Shape and fit on the head
NELLI is a turn-up, fitted beanie-style hat, handmade on knitting needles in a double rib stitch. This shape sits well around the head, does not create a stiff “cone” at the top, and naturally adapts to the shape of the head, so you can easily wear the turn-up higher or lower depending on how much you want to cover your ears. The elasticity of the stitch helps keep the beanie in place when moving, but if you prefer very loose hats, this style may feel too close-fitting.
How it behaves in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – gives noticeable warmth in autumn and winter temperatures without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat.
- Turn-up brim – creates a double layer over the ears, which helps protect this area better from cold and wind.
- Double rib stitch – helps maintain stretch and shape, so the beanie does not loosen excessively after a few wears.
- 75% merino, 25% polyamide blend – combines the qualities of wool (warmth, breathability) with improved resistance to wear compared to pure wool yarn.
- Moderate tendency to pill – in areas exposed to frequent friction, such as under a hood, small pills may appear and can be removed from time to time to keep the beanie looking neat.
- Smooth, non-fuzzy knit surface – makes it easier to wear under a hood or helmet and helps reduce snagging on jewellery or zips.
- Handmade on knitting needles – each beanie may have slight differences in colour placement, giving it the character of a one-of-a-kind piece, but this also means it may not look exactly the same as in the photo.
Finishing details and completing the set
The beanie is finished with an eco-leather label, which you can unfasten before washing to help it keep its appearance for longer. If you would like to turn this style into a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a separate pom-pom made from the same yarn, in the same colourway. You can also easily pair it with matching shawls, scarves or snoods if you want a coordinated set for the colder season. It is also worth reading the short guide on wool care, as gentle hand washing and drying flat really help extend the life of the beanie and maintain its shape.
