Burgundy alpaca beanie with a simple, elongated shape

This KIARA style has a clean, classic shape and sits smoothly at the forehead because it has no folded brim. The burgundy shade, with red and brown undertones, shows the knit texture nicely, while the single rib gives the whole piece some natural stretch. Aga knitted this style to have a more relaxed drape than close-fitting beanies, thanks to its medium weight and extended back.

• No folded brim means less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie fits more easily under a hood.
• The single rib gives the knit flexibility, which helps the shape adjust better in wear.
• The extended back creates a looser drape at the back of the head, so the beanie does not look stiff when worn.
• 100% alpaca in a medium weight provides warmth suitable for autumn and winter, without a heavy, very chunky shape.
• The slightly fuzzy surface means this alpaca beanie is not completely smooth, so on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so this handmade beanie stands up better to regular wear.

Extras and care

For this style, we can also make a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. If you would like to build a matching set, you can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl from our range. The yarn used for this alpaca wool beanie has been tested for harmful substances. Care is simple, but it does require gentleness: hand washing and drying flat help preserve the shape of the knit.
