Light blue alpaca beanie with a lighter shape at the forehead

This LAURIN style is an alpaca wool beanie in a cool, pale blue, with a distinct ribbed texture. The lack of a turn-up and the extended back give it an easy beanie shape, while the double rib keeps the form neat without creating a heavy edge. Aga knitted this style in a stitch that helps the beanie hold its shape better in everyday wear.

• Medium weight works well for autumn and winter, giving warmth suited to colder days.
• Without a turn-up, there is less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie also sits more easily under a hood.
• The double rib gives the knit elasticity, which helps it fit the head better without feeling stiff.
• The extended back creates a looser beanie shape, so it does not end close to the head and falls more softly.
• The surface has a light natural halo that gives it a softer, more natural texture, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so it stands up better to regular wear.

Extras and care

If you like, we can also prepare a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. You can also add a scarf, snood or shawl — together, an alpaca beanie and scarf make a coordinated set for the colder season. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca beanie should be hand washed; we describe the basic care method here: how to care for wool accessories.
