Light blue alpaca beanie with a longer, relaxed shape

This style comes from the KIARA collection in a cool, light blue shade. The lack of a turned-up brim and the single ribbed edge create a simple, calm shape, while the extended back gives the beanie a more relaxed drape. Aga chose a rib stitch here so the alpaca beanie keeps its elasticity without becoming too stiff.

• 100% alpaca in a medium weight provides warmth suited to cold autumn and winter days, so the beanie can be worn every day without feeling like a heavy, bulky knit.
• Without a folded brim, there is less fabric around the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The extended back and beanie shape create a more relaxed line, so it does not look overly stiff when worn.
• The single rib gives the knit a springy feel, which helps with a better fit in wear.
• The surface has a delicate halo, so this alpaca wool beanie is not completely smooth; if you have very sensitive skin, you may notice slight itchiness.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so it holds up better with regular wear.

Extras and care

If you like, we can also make this handmade beanie as a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn. You can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl to go with it — a good option if you are looking for a matching alpaca beanie and scarf set. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Alpaca beanies need gentle care, so wash this piece by hand and dry it flat; we have collected the details here: how to care for wool.
