KIARA Alpaca Beanie 100% Alpaca 3620 Red

A beanie without a turn-up and with an elongated back, handmade on knitting needles from 100% alpaca. It has a medium weight and works well through autumn and winter as an alpaca beanie that looks lighter but still feels warm.

Classic KIARA in red that doesn’t feel bulky around the face

This style features a distinct vertical stitch pattern and an elongated back, so it sits naturally and keeps its beanie shape without too much volume at the forehead. The vivid red shows the knit texture well, and Aga chose a single ribbed brim for KIARA, which helps the beanie stay flexible and keeps the rib pattern even and defined.

• No turn-up means less bulk around the forehead, so the beanie fits more easily under a hood.
• The elongated beanie back gives it a more relaxed shape on the head, without a stiff or closely fitted look.
• The medium-weight knit works well from cool autumn days into winter, so it is easier to wear in changing weather.
• The surface has a gentle halo that gives it a softer, fluffier look, but very sensitive skin may notice slight itchiness.
• The single ribbed brim helps the beanie fit better around the head, so once on, it holds its shape without feeling rigid.
• High resistance to pilling means the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer with everyday 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 coordinated winter set, you can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl from our range. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances in line with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. This alpaca wool beanie should be hand washed and dried flat after washing to help preserve its shape and stitch definition. We have gathered the care tips here: how to care for wool accessories.
