A classic alpaca beanie in a lighter, elongated shape

The KIARA style is a women’s alpaca beanie with a calm, everyday look. The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, while the elongated back gives it the looser drape typical of a beanie. The golden yellow shade leans toward a warm yellow-orange tone, which shows off the texture of the single rib stitch nicely. Aga chose a stitch here that gives the beanie a more defined shape while keeping it flexible.

• Medium weight provides warmth suited to autumn and winter, without creating a heavy, very bulky layer on the head.
• The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The elongated back creates a more relaxed beanie shape, so it does not end stiffly at the back of the head.
• The single rib stitch stretches well in wear, which helps the beanie fit the head more naturally without a rigid shape.
• The surface has a soft natural halo that gentles the look of the knit, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the beanie keep a neat appearance for longer with 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 put together a set, you can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl; in this yarn, an alpaca beanie and scarf set works especially well. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Alpaca wool beanies require hand washing and flat drying — you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool.
