| 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. |
Turn-up beanie handmade from 100% Baby Merino. This is a medium-weight merino wool beanie for autumn and winter, in a deep forest green shade with a smooth knit surface. You can check availability by clicking the size — there you will see whether that option is ready to ship or made to order.
When it works well and who it suits
This style is a good choice if you are looking for a beanie for the colder part of the year, but without a heavy, fluffy knit. It works well for everyday wear in autumn and winter, especially when you want a calm, solid-colour look and a comfortable fit on the head. The deep forest green gives a more muted effect than lighter greens, so it pairs easily with outerwear in neutral and earthy tones. If you need a beanie specifically for hard frost or very wet conditions, it is worth keeping in mind that this is a medium-weight style.
Yarn and feel against the skin
I used 100% Baby Merino because it gives a smooth, calm feel against the skin, without a fuzzy surface. This merino wool beanie is suitable for sensitive skin, and the yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100.
Wool needs careful care — this piece should be hand washed; a short guide can be found on the wool care page.
How it sits on the head
This is a fitted beanie style with a clear turn-up, which gives a neater line around the forehead and ears. The ribbing moves with the knit, so the beanie sits well without feeling stiff. The top falls softly without too much volume, which gives it a slimmer look than thick beanies with a loose knit.
What you get in everyday wear
- 100% Baby Merino – natural wool warmth in a version that is friendlier to sensitive skin.
- Medium weight – suitable for the autumn–winter season without feeling overly heavy on the head.
- Smooth surface without fuzz – the overall look is cleaner and more defined, and easier to pair with different outerwear.
- Single rib – the knit is flexible, so it adapts better to the shape of the head and holds its form more steadily in wear.
- Turn-up brim – the extra layer along the lower edge adds more of a protective feel around the forehead and ears.
- Handmade on a knitting machine – this allows me to keep the stitch consistent and the finish of each piece neat.
- Moderate tendency to pill – with regular use, it is worth expecting natural signs of wear typical of this type of wool yarn.
Matching accessories
If you would like to change the character of the style, you can choose a matching pom-pom for this beanie in the same colour and made from the same yarn. You can also pair it with matching shawls, wraps and snoods if you want a coordinated set for colder days.
