Plain alpaca beanie in light ecru

The SASHA style has a simple, understated shape with no turn-up cuff and a smooth stitch, so it fits easily into everyday outfits. The light ecru shade looks soft and brightens the face, while the gently fluffy surface gives this alpaca beanie a more cosy than technical character. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca creates a lightweight knit with a soft feel, so this beanie works well on colder autumn and winter days.
• The double layer around the ears adds extra coverage where it is needed most, so wind feels less noticeable around the forehead and ears.
• The lack of a turn-up cuff reduces bulk at the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back creates a looser beanie shape, so the hat does not finish flat at the top of the head.
• The smooth stitch gives an even surface without a pronounced texture, which keeps the look calm and easy to pair with different outerwear.
• The surface has a gentle halo — on very sensitive skin, a slight itchiness may be noticeable.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance with regular wear, so the beanie stays looking tidy for longer.

Extras and care

For this style, we can also prepare a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn, if you would like a different finish without changing the character of the knit. You can also order a matching scarf, snood or shawl — with this yarn, an alpaca beanie and scarf set works especially well. Aga chose a medium weight and smooth stitch here so that the beanie keeps its simple shape without becoming too stiff. Hand wash and dry flat; we have described the basic care method here: how to care for wool accessories.
