A turn-up alpaca beanie in a calm walnut brown

This is a hand-knitted beanie made in a single rib stitch, so it keeps its shape well and sits close to the head. The walnut brown shade and visible stitch texture create a simple, everyday look that pairs easily with a coat, jacket and wool scarf. Aga chose a medium-weight knit for this style, so it works well from cooler autumn days through winter.

• 100% alpaca provides light, warm coverage for the autumn-winter season, so the beanie works well for everyday outdoor wear.
• The single rib stitch gives the knit flexibility, which helps the fitted beanie sit better on the head without creating a stiff shape.
• The turn-up adds an extra layer around the forehead and ears, so you get more protection from the cold in that area.
• The surface has a soft halo that gives it a gentler, fluffier look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• The medium weight keeps bulk under control, so the beanie fits more easily under a hood than very thick wool hats.
• Good resistance to pilling helps the knit keep an even appearance for longer, so an alpaca beanie like this handles regular wear better.

Extras and care

This style can be finished as a beanie with pom-pom made from the same yarn in the same colour. If you would like to put together an alpaca beanie and scarf set, you can also match it with a snood, scarf or shawl from our handmade collection: see matching wool accessories. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca beanie requires hand washing and flat drying — you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool accessories.
