KIARA Beanie 100% Alpaca 2918 niebiesko‑turkusowy ciemny
Beanie hat with an extended back, hand-knitted from 100% alpaca. It has a medium-weight knit and works well for autumn and winter; in this version, it stands out in a deep blue-turquoise shade.

When this style makes sense
This women’s alpaca beanie is a good choice for those looking for a visually soft shape without a turn-up and who prefer a looser back rather than a close-fitting classic style. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, when you need coverage suited to colder weather but without a heavy, very chunky knit. The extended back changes the line of the beanie, so this style may not be the best choice if you want a short, sporty fit that sits close to the head. If the skin on your forehead and ears is very sensitive, it is worth keeping that in mind before buying.
The yarn and how it feels against the skin
This style is made from alpaca yarn with a gently fluffy surface, so it does not feel completely smooth to the touch. It is one of those wool beanies where the material still feels clearly natural against the skin, rather than having a sleek, synthetic finish.
For very sensitive skin, the beanie may feel slightly itchy.
How it sits on the head
This is a beanie style without a turn-up, so the edge around the face looks visually lighter than in styles with a wide cuff. I used a single rib because, at this knit weight, it gives the flexibility needed for everyday wear while keeping a calm, vertical texture. The extended back creates a more relaxed shape, so the beanie does not form a compact, short crown above the head.
What it offers in everyday wear
- The medium-weight knit makes it suitable for autumn and winter, so it is not reserved only for the coldest days.
- The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, which gives the style a lighter look and makes it easier to wear under a hood.
- The single rib stretches when putting it on, which helps with fit without creating a stiff, less flexible shape.
- The extended back gives a looser fit at the back of the head, so the beanie does not end high up and does not look overly compact.
- The soft halo on the surface makes the stitch pattern look gentler, giving the finished alpaca beanie a more natural, less technical appearance.
- Its strong resistance to pilling makes regular wear easier, as the surface keeps a neat look for longer.
- The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified yarn gives clear information about testing for unwanted substances, which matters in an accessory worn close to the skin.
Extras and practical additions
If you would like to change the look of the style, you can choose a matching pom-pom for this beanie in the same yarn colour. You can also add matching shawls, wraps and snoods to complete the set.
Care matters with 100% alpaca: hand washing is recommended, and you can find a short guide here: wool care. The beanie has an eco-leather label attached, which can be easily removed.
