When it works best

This style is for those looking for a wool beanie for everyday wear in the colder season, but without a heavy, very chunky feel. It works well in autumn and winter, when you want head coverage with a light, neat look. The brown tone with a hint of cocoa pairs easily with beige, camel, grey and black. If you need a hat that feels completely smooth to the touch, this style may not be the best choice.

Yarn and feel against the skin

This style is made from 100% alpaca with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification. I also choose yarns with real skin contact in mind, and with alpaca I find that it gives pleasant warmth without a sense of unnecessary weight.

Important: the fine halo typical of this yarn may feel slightly itchy on very sensitive skin.

A shape that sits neatly on the head

This is a fold-up beanie in a fitted beanie shape, handmade on knitting needles. This kind of cut works well with everyday outfits and does not create excess volume at the crown. The folded brim gives a cleaner line around the face and helps the hat keep a consistent look when worn. If you prefer a looser, more slouchy fit, this style will feel closer-fitting than an oversized beanie.

What it offers in use

• Medium weight – suitable from autumn into winter without the feel of a bulky cold-weather hat.
• Double rib – gives flexible, stable fit and makes the hat less likely to shift during wear.
• Folded construction – adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, where protection from the cold is usually felt most.
• 100% alpaca – gives the knit its natural character and warmth suited to colder days.
• Fine halo on the surface – gives the beanie a softer visual look, less strict than smooth knits.
• High resistance to pilling – helps the hat keep a neat appearance with regular wear.
• Handmade on knitting needles – gives it the character of a handmade piece, with visible stitchwork and without the anonymous repeatability of mass production.

Extras and important information

If you would like to add a beanie with pom-pom, you can choose a pom-pom made from the same yarn and colour-matched to the hat. To complete the set, you may also want to browse the category of matching shawls, wraps and snoods.

The style is finished with a Nitkowe Love eco-leather label, which can be unclipped before washing. Because this is an alpaca wool beanie, it needs gentle care — you can find a short guide here: wool care. Hand washing is recommended.
