When this beanie is a good choice

This style suits those looking for a beanie for colder autumn days and winter, who want a hat made from merino wool but in a moderate weight and without a fuzzy surface. It works well if you prefer fitted folded beanies that do not slip off the head easily. It may not be the best option for people with a very sensitive scalp, as the material may feel slightly itchy. In that case, it is worth considering a model in a different yarn or wearing an extra headband underneath.

The knit and skin feel

The beanie is made from yarn composed of 75% merino, 25% polyamide and certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, which means the fibre has been tested for harmful substances. The smooth knit surface without a fuzzy finish gives a neater look and reduces the risk of skin irritation from stray fibres. Merino wool usually offers good temperature regulation, while the polyamide blend improves the practical durability of the knit in everyday wear. For people with very sensitive skin, however, this merino wool beanie may still feel slightly itchy in direct contact with the skin.

Shape and fit on the head

The NELLI Print model is a fitted folded beanie, handmade on knitting needles in a double rib stitch. This type of stitch works with the head circumference, helping the beanie stay in place without excessive pressure. The folded brim reinforces the area over the forehead and ears, which matters in wind and lower temperatures. If you prefer looser beanies with a more slouchy shape, this model may feel too close-fitting.

How this beanie works in everyday wear

• Medium-weight knit – makes it suitable from chilly autumn through winter, without excessive overheating in moderate conditions.
• Double folded layer over the ears – adds an extra layer of fabric where it matters most, improving warmth in wind and lower temperatures.
• Double rib stitch – helps the beanie stay securely on the head while moving, which is practical for walks, city wear and daily commuting.
• Polyamide blend – increases the knit’s resistance to typical signs of wear, although the product is described as having medium pilling resistance, so it is best to avoid heavy rubbing against hoods and scarves.
• Smooth, non-fuzzy surface – makes it easier to pull a hood over the beanie and reduces snagging on other parts of your outfit.
• Handmade on knitting needles – gives a more refined stitch and allows the knit to settle naturally to the shape of the head after a few wears.
• Colour 14 Rainbow Sprinkles in pink tones – a good option if you are looking for a more expressive, multi-coloured accent that pairs easily with simple plain outerwear.

Details and ways to complete the set

The beanie is handmade on knitting needles, which allows me to control the yarn tension and the way the stitch is placed in key areas such as the folded brim and the crown. If you would like to change the character of the model, you can add a matching pom-pom in a coordinated colour and texture. To build a set, you may want to choose a shawl, scarf or snood from other products available in the matching shawls, wraps and snoods section, especially if you want a colour-coordinated combination. Wool does not need frequent washing, but to help maintain the shape and structure of the knit, I recommend reading the short guide to wool care and using gentle hand washing and flat drying.
